Out of Title Work

When a supervisor does bargaining unit work, he is taking work and money away from you and other Local 812 members. Union members lose out on working extra hours and overtime. It is a violation of the contract.

But we can only file and win grievances with the help of members.

Strike Preparation

In the private-sector striking for lawful reasons is legal. As long as strikers do not engage in unlawful activity, they cannot be fired. However, under federal law, economic strikers can be permanently replaced. The adage "hope for the best, but prepare for the worst" is a good way to think about striking. Obviously, the easiest way not to be burned during a union strike is to not strike. But if you do, learn to protect yourself.

Union Rights

Exercising your labor rights is as much a part of our democracy as casting a vote in a political election or voicing an opinion in a membership organization in your community. It's like a vote in a county election or like getting up to say something at a PTA meeting. People do it all the itme. When Union members go to work they have a concept of democracy and having rights as citizens that is missing from the non-union work experience.
