Collective bargaining is the process of negotiating wages, hours and working conditions between an employer and a specific group of employees represented by a union. Through collective bargaining, employees may get less than, more than or the same as they have before collective bargaining. And, if the parties are unable to reach agreement through collective bargaining, it often leads to a strike or a lockout.

Unions cannot

• Guarantee a union contract
• Guarantee higher wages
• Guarantee better benefits
• Guarantee the reinstatement of former policies/practices
• Guarantee hours and schedules
• Guarantee employment
• Prevent layoffs
• Set job standards

Unions CAN negotiate and make proposals BUT there are no guarantees what the parties will actually agree to.

If you vote the union in, you will be stuck with them for at least a year, and possibly up to 3 or more years after that!

A company is not allowed to help employees who want to try and get rid of the union.

The union will fight hard to avoid the embarrassment and loss of dues if it’s kicked out.

So, your vote may be the last chance you get to decide on whether you want this union.

Unfortunately there’s no “money back guarantee” from the union if it gets in but you’re not satisfied with it.
