Unions

Unions:
Strip away all the good Unions have done for America since its earliest days,
and you would see an ugly picture. The truth about the value of Unions in
America is found in our history. Don't believe the lies about Unions. Be
diligent and responsibl­e enough to learn the facts about all the good Unions...
have done for all American's­ not just for their members.

Do you know the History and where the RIGHT TO WORK law was started?

Do you know the History and where the RIGHT TO WORK law was started?


“From now on, white women and white men will be forced into organizations with black African apes whom they will have to call ‘brother’ or lose their jobs."

What is a Union

What Is A Union

A Union is not anything if it consists of each of us.
It is only something if it consists of all of us..

How can I support my union?

How can I support my union?


There are a number of things members can do to make the Union even stronger than it is today. Participating in your local union, sticking together, and educating potential members and the public about our unions are simple, everyday ways we can support our unions.

  • Attend local union meetings regularly. If you cannot attend meetings, talk to your shop steward or other members about what took place and try to make the next one.
  • Stay informed. Keep up with current events and what's happening in your workplace. Keep up with news that affects you and your union.
  • Participate in union elections. Whether it's elections for officers, contract votes or local union business, your opinion counts and can make a difference.
  • Get to know your steward, he or she is your primary contact with your union and can answer many of your questions or refer you to the appropriate resources.
  • Get to know your local officers and trustees. Many local unions provide contact information and bios on their web sites.
  • Review your local union bylaws. Each local is autonomous and has its own set of rules and guidelines.
  • Attend union rallies and events when you can. You may not be able to make them all, but standing together shows strength in numbers.
  • Become an e-activist. Read and participate on blog sites in your community or state, or start your own blog. Join Union sites on MySpace, YouTube, Facebook and other social networking sites. Comment on local newspaper or TV station web sites to provide the Union perspective
  • Spread the word. If you hear about an issue that concerns you, tell your friends, relatives and coworkers and show them how to get involved. Educate others. Talk about what being a Union means to you. Tell your friends, relatives and other workers you bump into about benefits of being a Union Member.

Unions Matter

More importantly,
 unions matter because who else will speak on behalf of workers? The Chamber of Commerce speaks for the interests of business and AARP speaks for the interests of the elderly, but who speaks for workers everywhere? Unions do. If workers are to have a share in the future prosperity of this country, they need unions to advance their issues. Otherwise, the voices of corporations, the rich and the well connected will drown out the voices of average American workers

Anti GOP

The unions need to compile a list of bad actor companies that are public. This company list should include large GOP donors, ALEC members, Chamber of Congress members, and other companies with anti middle class agendas. Find companies that donate to anti union congressmen and other causes that are destroying the fabric of our nation. Once this list is compiled it will be easy to cross reference what mutual fund, hedge fund, or brokerage firm own shares in these companies.
Once this list is established the Union needs to sit down with the Goldman Sachs and other money managers and explain to them they intent to yank every penny out of that firm if they are invested in any of these names. The Unions control trillions of dollars in their pension plans. Imagine giving Goldman Sachs three days to divest in all these companies or write you a check for a trillion dollars.
