It seems that the union leadership has a set of talking points that they just can't get away from. How many times do we have to hear how horrible it would be without the union? Without a union, the company is going to force you to work in unsafe conditions. Without a union, the company will force you to work overtime. Without a union, blah...blah...blah. We've heard how evil the company would be to us without a union, yet there are several thousands of employees that seem to do just fine without a union.
By no means am I saying that the company is a saintly organization. However, if the working conditions are so horrible, would so many people still be working here? I mean, they are "at will" employees, only employed at the whim of the company.
This little fact doesn't seem to keep the union from crying wolf. They continue to recycle these lines over and over.
Speaking of recycling their lines, it appears that their methods continue to be recycled. I have noticed that whenever information is posted on the other blog (which allows anonymous posts) the response from those claiming to be union supporters is quite often rude, vulger, and threatening. A great deal of the responses are beyond insulting. They try to derail the conversation with things that have nothing to do with the debate. They make personal attacks against people that they suspect of having anything to do with a decertification effort.
Wouldn't it be wonderful for these hate filled people to be out of the workplace? Don't you want to have a workplace free of these attitudes? It can happen, but it takes work. It takes work from all of us to stand up and say that we aren't going to tolerate it anymore. It's not something that one person can do as an individual. It doesn't take an organized group to make it happen. It merely takes all of us refusing to stand by and not allow it. If this anger, vulgarity, threats, and hate filled rhetoric is what union representation is about, then we don't need it. I have more pride in myself than that and that is why IAMNOT933!

It's coming sooner than you think. Tell your friends. BOHICA!
I have deleted several comments left by "walmart manager". If the union official making those posts would like to add something constructive and productive, then post away. I have told you that the dialogue shall remain respectful. Evidently, the union considers the word "jackass" as a sign of respect. Only in IAM...only in IAM. This is your one and only warning to keep it civil and above the belt.
Wait a sec. I signed your petition because you promised big change and then you go and try to just get yourselves out? First the union screws us now you guys?! You lying P.O.S. So here we are,right where we started, out in the cold all by ourselves. The union won't get me to sign up, but you'll never see my signature again either! In fact if there is anyone who has a way to oust you, count me in!
