I think a good start should be to have a national rally day, where all TSG/TSC/Admin around the country gather at lunch time and talk about unionizing, maybe take a straw vote. One person could be in charge of presenting this info to local union rep and maybe we can kick this thing into high gear!
I was thinking valentines day would be a good day, easy to remember, and kind of symbolic.
We need to talk to each other openly and honestly about doing this. What I have witnessed in my workgroup is most people seem to think this would be a positive thing, but are reluctant to persue it for a variety of reasons. They are afraid management will get wind of it. They think it will never materialize. Some folks have said that they would welcome the protections the union would offer but are afraid that their sups and managers would be bitter and make life hell if it ever happens.
Well life sure can't get alot worse than it is now. Maybe you not in an affected district. Don't fool yourselves. Anyone remember what happened to the PCAs? Outsourced. Everywhere. This is clearly the direction the company is heading. The are in business to make money. That is fine, but don't let them stomp all over you in the process.
If we all come together...
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
