[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 193090, member: 1335"] The following is taken from a previous post in which this issue of STATUS QUO was addressed. During the transistion of power after a NLRB election, your workplace rights are protected. The National Labor Relations Act does not specifically address every possible scenario. Law is developed through cases/decisions handed down by the NLRB and precedence becomes the established law. Should Teamsters win the decert vote, their contract would remain in place. Should the APWA win the decert vote, the precedence of STATUS QUO would take effect. The current guidelines and agreements found within the IBT contract would still be in full force and would PROTECT ALL WAGES, JOBS, AND BENEFITS AS UPS EMPLOYEES ENJOY THEM NOW. The NLRB website if full of case decisions which support the precedence of STATUS QUO. In 1982, an interesting decision came down in USPS vs National Postal Professional Nurses in case 5-CA-11693 (pdf file)where the USPS attempted to raise wages for only non-union employees while a newly certified union was negotiating the new contract. The NLRB found that the USPS was failing to bargain with the new union in good faith and the NLRB not only protected the current wage schedule, but also forced the USPS to include the wage INCREASES in the new contract. Bottom line is that UPS employees will not be left defenseless against the company when APWA is certified. One final point....there are some very nice people working at the branch offices of the National Labor Relations Board. The lawyer I spoke with was happy to answer my questions. I recommend that you call them and talk to them personally if you are concerned about the election process. Visit the NLRB contact page and find the office nearest you. They were very helpful in answering my questions. [/QUOTE]
