[QUOTE="Steward773, post: 265623, member: 12275"] MrFedEx, I understand your concern, and I would feel the same way if I was in your situation. Last summer we had a DHL driver contact our union hall with interest to become Teamsters. Our Union brought in organizers from Washington to help our local to try and organize them. To make a long story short ,8 months later they voted in the Teamsters in by 95%. The most important thing is to get a bunch of coworkers together that are pro-union and you can TRUST. Get a feel for the rest of the work force and try to talk about the benefits of joining a Union to convince them you will be better off (because you will!). You have to try and keep this pro-union talk "under wraps" though, because if management finds out they will most definetaly begin their anti-Union campaign. When you contact a business agent from the union hall, he will ask you for a list of workers so when the organizers begin their work they have a list of people they can contact. You my friend sound like the key player in Unionizing your barn. Just be patient, and do it smart. The Union will want at least 75% of the workers say that they will vote yes for a Union before they will have a card check, even though you will only need 51% of the vote to win. Start now by building trust and solidarity with your coworkers and it will pay off down the road! Good Luck :thumbup1:. [/QUOTE]
