Out of Control: Employer Misconduct During Union Organizing Far Too Common
Or, "What happens in AC, WILL ONLY MAKE US STRONGER" National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) elections are meant to provide workers with the opportunity to choose whether or not they want to join a union. Yet research confirms that too many employers are taking advantage of U.S. labor laws intended to protect workers’ rights to form unions. Aggressive misconduct from management widely prevents workers from exercising their choice. These findings indicate a serious need for reform of the NLRB-supervised union election process which typically skews in the favor of employers. Democracy Denied While anti-union interests claim the NLRB election system protects the right to vote, the grim reality remains that our broken system denies an overwhelming number of employees the opportunity to ever have a choice. As soon as workers file a petition with the NLRB to hold an election, employers often try to prevent the vote from ever taking place. In four out of 10 cases, workers who ask for an NLRB-supervised election don’t ever get a chance to vote. Lawlessness Rampant In cases that actually reach an election, almost half are spoiled by employers engaging in illegal activity, according to workers’ reports. Specifically, in 46 percent of elections, employers interfere with the NLRB-supervised election process by firing pro-union employees, cutting back on workers’ hours, making groundless demotions, and using other intimidating tactics. Based on American Rights at Work’s review of the NLRB’s Case Activity Tracking System database and matching of representation cases to unfair labor practice cases, June 2008.

You want Petititions??
You CAN'T HANDLE Petitions.  LOL! Just Kidding!!!Here's a petition EVERY DEALER should sign: http://www.freechoiceact.org/page/s/yournewjob?source=bnfvideo0908&subsource=youtube We, the undersigned, enthusiastically support the Employee Free Choice Act and urge Congress to pass this important legislation without further delay. Good union jobs are key to restoring the middle class, and the Employee Free Choice Act would make it easier for workers to form a union. If a majority of workers wants a union, they should get one. It’s as simple as that. This bill is about giving workers everywhere a stronger voice and a fair shake. It’s about preserving the American Dream and ensuring that the economy works for all of us. Congress should pass the Employee Free Choice Act immediately! |
