As you consider whether you want to vote for the union to represent you, it is critical that you get information concerning what joining the union would mean for you and your families. You may choose to ask the union some or all of the questions below. We hope that the union would provide honest and accurate answers to your questions. The Company will continue to provide employees with facts, not promises.
Will the union sign a written guarantee that it will get me better wages and benefits than what I have now?
Isn't it true that, if voted in, the union only gets the right to ask the Company to agree to do things, but the Company is not required to agree to anything?
Who would our shop stewards be? Has the union promised them anything?
Can the union guarantee I won't lose anything I have now through collective bargaining?
Can the union guarantee if I join the union I will never have to go on strike? If there is a strike, will the union make up my lost wages? If not, how much would I get?
Shouldn't I just vote no and give the Company a chance? Isn't it true that we could always ask the union to come back later but we could be stuck with them for years if we vote them in?
This is your decision and it affects your rights — make sure you get the facts.
