You think the economy is bad now, let card check pass and give it a few years. Our nation will eventually go into default.
How? Because the earnings of a company would be divided more equally within a company instead of the top brass getting richer and richer when the working men and women get poorer and poorer.
EFCA will balance the playing fields within all companies! Companies that do not even attempt to unionize will have to prepare and start treating employees with more respect, dignity and better financial packages.
The people that would be benefited the most from its passing are the lower and middle class! These same people are the ones that are scared to spend any extra money and are only buying the bare necessities to make it from one day to the next.
There is nothing the matter with allowing these people to share the wealth of their companies and at the same time which would help to start people spending again.
All of us on here are either union or management and we all have seen the benefits of belonging to a union. The good and the bad and the good is the reason we continue to belong to the teamsters. We all know someone that has been wronged by our company and have seen the union right this wrong.
So whats the matter with allowing others to have the same protection that we are privy to everyday at work?
If you have never been on an organizing drive you have no idea on the extents a company will go to. If an employee wants to unionize under its current bill there's a great chance that employee will not be around to vote at the secret ballot 90 days after they have signed their cards.
I have seen it! Ive also seen the companies hire goons to harass us as we are organizing the employees. We as volunteer organizers go through the same bs that the employees do when they want what we have.
The majority of employees that sign a card want to belong to the union. Yes some change their minds over the next 3 months, but mostly they change their minds because of the harassment they have received by their employer.
Everyone union employee here at some point will collect a pension. If we do not continue to organize and get more people contributing to that pension eventually the pension will run out of money.
If your comfortable enough that you probably could live without your pension that's not to big of a deal. But that is your money and without new members we will all be left out in the cold.
DO not ever complain about the unions being weak, or the funds being near 0 if you yourself have not tried to better the union.
Our future is in our hands! Time to step up and help or forever bite your tongue.
