I have served as an E-Board member, Asst. Business Manager, President and Business Manager.
I serve on the AFL-CIO political committee in Greater Boston.
It is astounding how our message gets distorted. It's such a simple concept. If a majority of a group wants a union, they have a union established through free and fair elections. The unit chooses it's own leaders in a free and fair election. The minority who do not want to join the union can opt out and pay an agency fee for the salary and benefits provided by the union. If at any time, the majority of members feel that the union does not produce, they can decertify the union and go back to a non-union shop, again, by free and fair elections.
