The union can't guarantine anything.
We are not guaranteed anything now. There is nothing in place to stop them from raising health care cost or changing job title so your making less money. with a union contract the company can not change anything. And who would vote yes for a union contract that gives us less?
With a union we won't be able to communicate directly with your superviser.
a union contract doesn't prevent communication in the workplace, it will help increase productive conversation, setting ground rules for everyone to follow, in most contracts, it specifies talkin to your superviser as the first step in conflict resolution.
With a union we won't be competitive.
Some of the most competitive efficient plants are unionized facilities. Thousands of UAW members and part of the automotive and airospace and construction industries are amongst the most competitive companies in the world.
They will shut the doors as soon as we unionize.
90% of all plants that close are non union facilities. having a union means we will have a say in investment, sourcing and job security. Without a union the company can do whatever they want and we have no say.
I will lose my job if I support the union.
No one can legally retaliate against you for supporting the union, if you are terminated for your involvment, charges can and will be filed with the national labor relations board.
Union dues line the pocket of the international union.
Aproximately half of all dues paid stay in our local union to keep it operating.
