That was an excellant video. You have to know if Luis from Sesame Street comes out in favor of the Employee Free Choice act it is a good idea. Employees deserve health insurance and respect not harassment for organizing.

here is an example in anaheim terminal, Mike Hutton fired Tito ayala for union organizing but not for abandoning the job which is not true. Tito called CLC a few times that he wasn't feelng well after 11 hrs on the job and asked CLC if he could go home. He was granted the okay to go home and was suspended by Mike Hutton then fired a week later. The same story happened in the whittier terminal, Jesse Lopez was fired for wrongful termination by Greg Faith.

if we vote the union in and "WE" don't like what Rudy and Joe said. How hard would it be to "Vote" the union out?

Has this ever happened at a company where they voted the union in and then chose to vote them out?

THanks,

Watch out for the Open Door Policy. You don't want it to hit you on your way out.

How Do I File A Petition or Remove A Union?
The National Labor Relations Act provides the legal framework for private-sector employees to organize into bargaining units in their workplace, or to dissolve their labor unions through a decertification petition.



Information Officers at any NLRB Regional Office will answer questions regarding representation or decertification petitions and provide assistance with completing petition forms. To file a petition to form a union or to decertify an existing one, parties must file the forms at the Regional Office that has jurisdiction over the area where the workplace is located. Go to the page titled Locating Our Offices to find a Regional Office.



The filing of a petition seeking certification or decertification of a union should be accompanied by a sufficient showing of interest to support such a petition. Support is typically demonstrated by submitting dated signatures of at least 30% of employees in the bargaining unit in favor of forming a union, or to decertify a currently recognized union.

Now go tell Hinkley I answered you.

its sad that we work in a country where your freedom of speech could get you fired. what these company managers or supervisors are being allowed to do in order to keep the union and the employees who want the union out of this work place is really a slap in our faces. most people cannot afford to lose their job and benefits however working under conditions has also placed alot of stress on the working class here. so we are still doing alot of behind the scenes activity with the employees who want the union here and the fight continues underground because our FREEDOM OF SPEECH has been cancelled by the so called people in charge and fedex has allowed this stressful situation to continue because they know all about the working conditions here and they want to send a message to all employees, and the message is YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE UNITED STATES OF FEDEX.
