A Right to Collectively Bargain...
More than 70 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "If I were a worker in a factory, the first thing I would do would be to join a union."
I think this holds true today. Studies show that if a certification vote was held in every work place across North America, and neither the union or the company could have any influence, 30% of the workers would vote for representation. We as union have laid some solid ground work and it is the employer that has the up hill battle to defeat the workers.
This year we have to harness the organizing power that we have and bring the RWDSU to the workers. This year we have to build on that 30% and give people what they have a right to. A right to collectively bargain.
