[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 174419, member: 1335"] From the NLRB website: [I]Congress approved the National Labor Relations Act in 1935 to encourage a healthy relationship between private-sector workers and their employers, which policy makers viewed as vital to the national interest.....The NLRA extends many rights to workers who wish to form, join or support unions, also known as labor organizations; to workers who are already represented by unions; and to workers who join together as a group (two or more employees) without a union seeking to modify their wages or working conditions, which is known as protected concerted activities. The Act outlines basic rights of employees as follows: [/I] [LIST=1] [I] [LIST][*]To self-organization.[/LIST] [LIST][*][B]To form, join, or assist labor organizations.[/B][/LIST] [LIST][*]To bargain collectively for wages and working conditions [B]through representatives of their own choosing.[/B][/LIST] [LIST][*]To engage in other protected concerted activities with or without a union, which are usually group activities (two or more employees acting together) attempting to improve working conditions, such as wages and benefits.[/LIST] [LIST][*]To refrain from any of these activities. (However a union and employer may, in a State where such agreements are permitted, enter into a lawful union-security clause).[/LIST][/I] [/LIST] Your analogy, twn, is a poor one and based on flawed opinion. As defined by the NLRA, employees have their right to "join, form or assist labor organizations". We, the APWA supporters, believe the IBT has failed us and no longer operates in the best interest of the UPS employee. Therefore, we have no interest in IBT elections and wish to exercise our constitutional right to join or assist the labor organization of our choice. [B]Well,the APWA is attempting to persuade 30% of the 230,000 UPS Teamsters, to decertify, give up what rights and protections thay have, to follow a handful of people, that have divised an untested plan, that merely exists on paper.[/B] These signatures we're collecting "merely exist on paper".
