Union formed

46. Union Organizer and Steward here...

Now that you have your Union, let the hard work begin! I work in a recently Unionized small Food Co-op in the Northeast. It took us 2 years to get to the vote and it has been almost 10 years now. We are currently negotiating our 3rd contract. Have you done that part yet? We are using an uncommon technique called interest based bargaining (IBB) for our negotiations rather than normal adversarial "across the table" bargaining. We're pretty lucky that our shop voluntarily recognized the Union and has been mostly working with us in good faith. Having "open book" finances helps. Feel free to ask questions (you can PM me if there are questions you want to ask privately) from anyone here at DU. There's a lot of real smart people here! Good Luck! And check out the Baking Group here at DU!
