[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2443547, member: 14176"] Decertifying is actually easy. The hard part is surviving the required year wait until we can reorganize into another union and negotiate another collective bargaining agreement. That word, "decertify", swirls around my local frequently, especially in crafts other than UPS. School bus drivers and monitors, who make $12/hr or less, and top out at $18.75/hr after 16 years, is where I hear it the most. It's hard to blame them. That's why I feel that the IBT's focus on this "low hanging fruit", as @Bug referred to it, is short sighted and "unsustainable". It's high time we turn our organizational attention back to our core industries and other parallel vocations and crafts. Instead, we seem content to throw our hands in the air and complain about the decertification of the freight industry in the 1980's. SMH ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
