If you truly believe what you have posted, and are not simply advancing your own agenda, then I fear you have an uninformed view of who the thugs really are. You mistake them for altruistic people standing for employee rights, when the true motives of many are nothing more than power and greed. It is also abundantly clear you have never read a neutrality agreement, or if you have, are naive as to the intent of the agreement and the extent union organizers will exert harassment, coercion and intimidation to achieve their goals!

Let’s review some of the more onerous terms of a neutrality agreement:

1.) The neutrality agreement eliminates any petition for a secret ballot election and resorts to recognition via card check. Why would the unions seek to force a company to recognize a signature card, rather than engage in a private election? It should be obvious to any unbiased person the only reason this would be necessary is because the union knows it cannot win an election, and is determined to impose it’s will through forced unionism. The secret ballot which we use in our government elections, and which is administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for union recognition, is the only means of guaranteeing an uncorrupted election free of influence from either party. The Taft-Hartley Act passed in 1947 instituted the secret ballot election following years of corruption, union intimidation and coercion of employees! In our case we offered the SEIU the opportunity to have an election on many occasions, and in each instance they declined. Despite ruthless intimidation tactics used throughout the corporate campaign process in an attempt to force us to sign a neutrality agreement, the SEIU was only able to obtain 10 signatures out of 400 potential employees.

Language from SEIU neutrality agreement: “Employer will not file a petition with the National Labor Relations Board for an election in connection with any demand for recognition by Union during the term of this Agreement. By entering into this Agreement, Employer acknowledges that it has waived any right that it may have during the term of this Agreement to file a representation petition in response to nay demand for recognition by Union pursuant to this Agreement.”

2.) The neutrality agreement requires the employer to provide, within five (5) business days of signing, a list of the names and addresses of all employees. Now lets use a little common sense. If the employees were the ones who were behind this initiative why would the union need their names and addresses? The answer is that the employees never invited the union. The union needs the information so they can send their thugs to peoples homes in order to intimidate them into signing union cards!

Language from SEIU neutrality agreement: “Upon Union’s request, Employer shall provide within five (5) business days a list of the names and addresses of all Employees within classifications subject to this Agreement.”

3.) The neutrality agreement requires the employer to commence bargaining. If no agreement can be reached, the parties agree to participate in arbitration.: Why would the unions want this language? Because it guarantees them a contract! Remember that the National Labor Relations Act as it currently exists only requires employers to bargain, not to enter into an agreement!

Language from SEIU neutrality agreement: “The parties agree that any disputes . . . shall be submitted to expedited arbitration before an impartial arbitrator.”

The neutrality agreement is not just a means to approach employees, it is a means to forced unionism. The truth is unions as supported by NLRB statistics win about 64% of the elections. Company intimidation of employees is not the unions problem, because companies understand they need to take care of their employees and employees today have many government options such as the EEOC, DOL, NLRB and Wage and Hour to resolve grievances. In today’s age the problem unions have is they have nothing to sell!

Consider that the SEIU gets $10/week per member. Now at over 2,000,000 members, that is $20 million each WEEK. All collected and paid to them by their ‘partners’, the businesses they took over. This is only possible when your other big partner is the political party you choose to pay to advance your cause with both direct contributionsnUNLIMITED, by the Democrats under the Disclosure Act.

SEIU, Teamsters, UAW…all are in on the corruption and profiting greatly by it. If you read one other book on the horrible cost and corruption entailed, PLUNDER by Steven Greenhut will richly inform you. There, the cost of the Public Unions and their entanglement with the State politicos will or should, enrage you.
