Anti-Union

Democrats and labor leaders went on the offensive against anti-union House Republicans Wednesday, accusing GOP members and business groups of threatening the country's middle class through a raft of legislation that could weaken unions.
At a forum hosted by the AFL-CIO, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) argued that Republican efforts to strip power from the National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency that enforces labor law, were part of a broader attack on collective bargaining rights across the country. The fight, he added, was ultimately about "fairness and equity" in the economy.
"We've got to quit being on the defensive," Harkin said. "We have to take our case to the American people ... attacking [Republicans] for what they're trying to do. The American people are starting to understand how unfair the economic system is, how unfair it is for banks and the wealthy to get all the government largesse and for working people to get nothing."

VOC

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

I have had several inquires about how to form a VOC. A Voluntary
Organizing Committee is very easy to set up. You make a motion and have it
seconded. You will need a chair person and a recording secretary. Then ...

you
ask for any members that would be interested in joining.

This VOC can be set up for just about any thing that you can think
about. How about setting up a VOC to call members to remind them about the
next Union meeting or how to motivate members to attend your meetings.Use a
VOC to determine what class's that should be taught as a journeyman upgrade.

The options are up for you to decide. Get Involved in your Local.

Peter McGuire believed that a union's strength flowed from its member's
participation. Involvement demands information.

Our Union is only as strong as our participation.

If you know of work. Please pass on the information. If you have news for
Union Millwrights pass that along also.

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.

Forty Republicans

Forty Republican members of the United States Senate betrayed veterans today when decided that denying President Obama a victory was more important than spending $1 billion to create jobs for vets.

Unions Pay Better

It always seems strange why anyone would chose to make less money,less benefits,less insurance,less retirement,less and less. Just how dumb does it take… Not to be able to realize the benefits of belong to a group that looks out for you and your family

Union definition:
"A combination so formed, especially an alliance or confederation of
people, parties, or political entities for mutual interest or benefit"

Every doctor,every lawyer,every teacher,every realtor,every police officer, every professional baseball payer,every professional football player,every professional basketball player,every professional umpire,every dentist belongs to a organization or association to that offers help and support to that individual or group. Our country is full of professional associations that take dues form their members.

But if a worker joins a group to help themselves.

That person becomes a low life dirty dog. This starts with industry and people who are ignorant of Unions and of the real work place.

Jobs are moved over seas to the cheapest labor cost and less government control….. Does that mean that we who work with our hands,our brains and our hearts have to make third world wages? Does this mean that we have to work in a unsafe environment? Do we have to sacrifice our health, our bodies and our loved ones?

There is always someone who will work cheaper, with less safety and less concern about our environment.

Just look at big business….. The owners of mines,factories and companies who are fined or arrested each year for pollution,safety violations,harassment,lying,endangering their employees.

The Ceo’s that steal hundreds of millions of dollars from their companies and stock holders. If you think Unions are corrupted? You hand better take a good look at big business. The IRS does?

Today we need organization of Labor more than ever.

Unions …. "The people who brought you the weekends"

Mitt Romney once again laid into unions on Thursday as he accepted the endorsement of the Associated Builders

Mitt Romney
 once again laid into unions on Thursday as he accepted the endorsement of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), a staunchly anti-union industry group:
Thursday’s crowd was particularly receptive as Mr. Romney said he would pursue right-to-work laws and forbid unions from collecting dues that could be used for political purposes.

“If I become president of the United States, I will curb the practice we have in this country of giving union bosses an unfair advantage in contracting,” Mr. Romney said. “One of the first things that I will do – actually on Day One- is I will end the government’s favoritism towards unions in contracting on federal projects.” The audience responded with a standing ovation."

WE NEED UNIONS MORE THAN EVER

WE NEED UNIONS MORE THAN EVER

And yes if the company that you work for.... Does not like the color
of your skin ,color of your hair,your politics,your family
background,that you were hurt on the job,that you work 60 hours but
made only paid for 40 , your age and that you did not buy booze for
your boss and less not forget the slave and hazard conditions and
young children be used as workers.. You will be out of work!
Companies have a very long history of abuse of the working class. Do
you think they have changed? If they have. It is only by Unions
getting laws past. If it was not for Unions you would not have the
benefits that you have today. You would have never heard of term
weekends. That were brought to you by Unions.
We need Unions more than ever.......
