Decertify Your Union

It was recently read in a newspaper where employees from the Seattle Nordstrom store voted to decertify their Union. A leader for the Nordstrom employees said, "Unions want to take our money, and we have to say no".

I must agree with the leader mentioned above, as I belong to a union, and I must also give my Union $40.00 of my hard earned money per month. All that I get in return for my monthly dues is:
 

  •   I must accept a good medical and dental plan that my employer pays for.
  •   If I am called in early on my shift or day off or on a weekend, I must accept overtime pay.
  •   I must take five weeks of vacation and all of those PDO's after 25 years with the company, fully paid for.
  •   I must accept my seniority rights that were designed to move me up the progression ladder in a fair and just manner.
  •   I am forced to have a grievance procedure so that I must be treated fairly by management.
  •   I am forced by my lousy Union to work in a safe, healthy environment.
  •   I also cannot believe how our pushy  Union is going to force a good, company paid pension on me when I retire.


    • My Union is very democratic, and regularly asks my input. What is wrong with our Union leaders anyway, running a Union like this? My Union leadership tells me that I am the Union. Some nerve huh? Who do they think they are anyway?

    Unions are really terrible, that's for sure. I think that I will contact the National Labor Relations Board and see if I can get my Uniion decertified. I am sick and tired of the Union doing all of these things for me.

    Just think, when all of the benefits are gone, and I am working for $4.25 per hour, at least I won't have to pay any more of those lousy Union dues.
