So the fact someone may not agree with your views concerning unions, you resort to name calling, typical. Do you use the same tactic when it comes to different religious beliefs or political views from yours?? It's ok to agree to disagree.
@@gdobie1west988 If you don't think being a scab is a bad thing, then it isn't name calling. I'm sure plenty of pro-corporate people love scabs, and sing their praises. Go ahead and try to paint me as "Intolerant" for being blatantly pro union on a union video.

It would be amazing if young workers could unite on their desire to keep working remotely and unionize tech and other industries where this is a reality. Too many people heed the corporate mandate of going back to the workplace.
Not waiting for a late paycheck. I can't get paid for my employer national corporation they offered me gift cards.imstead of a paycheck. I called hours and wages. I know this wouldn't have happened if I was in a strong union.
How does the trucking industry start a union. This is getting out of hand. The railroad does not move America THE TRUCKERS DO. They can't go where we go!!!!
The word Union is not mentioned in National Labor Relations. National Labor Relations is the 1935 language that gives workers the statutory right to organize and collectively bargain. Using the word Union is counterproductive. Not agood start if you are thinking long term.
You need to have at least 30% of your workplace sign authorizion cards in order for the NLRB to host a secret ballot election. The reason being is it costs money to host such elections and the NLRB wants to make sure there is a genuine interest in unionizing as not to waste tax payers money unnecessarily.
Got asked to join the electrical union last week. Minutes prior to the invitation, the Foreman explained how the current project is 2 months behind schedule, over budget by $100k (and growing). Subordinates are so incompetent the turnover rate on this job is obscene. Lastly, they took a vote last week to get paid more and it passed… I don’t know any other organization that provides raises to a failing job-site. We compared California wages and these guys make roughly $30k more total package (insurance, 401K, and paycheck).
Hi so i saw this video about a month ago, and I started to talk to the guys at my company . about getting the tamest union local 665 to help us at work. because we are a large company with a lot 18 teen wheeler delivering all over the northeast ( ) products . Because the owner don't see what the Forman and supervisor treat us. Well I make it short I no longer have a job with a certain company after 15 years with them. So what do I do now HELP ME PLEASE
I’m sorry about this, but these risks are always there when unionising. I say you try and fight them since it is your right to unionise and you can at least cost them some money that way but other than than nothing can be done. But don’t give up hope on unions, there are methods to make sure this stuff doesn’t happen and when executed right the rewards are incredible. Secrecy is key, and if you don’t trust someone don’t bring it up around them. Only go public after the union is majority strong and hopefully has a big union backing it.
Did you first contact the teamsters like the video says? I think they would have given you precautions. But I guess also deny everything if a manager asks.
Yep. My union makes sure my boss has my work schedule every two weeks in advance. And my schedule cannot change without 3 weeks of notice. To say nothing of guaranteed minimum working hours. That makes a huge difference in my life.
Lots of labor unions have that! A two week minimum for any schedule changes allows for people to have solid future plans, projects, appointments, and have a stable work life balance.
What about companies such as Delivery companies? We are classified as “independent contractors” we have no benefits, no retirement plans and no protection from being fired or in this case removed from the app which is equivalent to being fired. When they pause your account is the equivalent of being suspended and with out pay.???
Not to mention they can control your income by not sending you any offers at all no matter how many hours you are active on the app. There are times I only made $7 an hour bing active on the app 11 hour. Being active on the app is the equivalent of punching in, on a 9 to 5 job.
I think those of us who work these jobs will have to figure out how to unionize at some point. These sleazy companies absolutely take advantage of their workers. DoorDash stole a $20 cash tip from me because the customer foolishly informed them how much he was tipping, so they took it out of my pay for that day. They get away with this shit and it has to stop.
I hate to say it but the market just isnt viable enough to have that many full time delivery drivers. Unless you live in a massive city but then again theres even more people to compete with. Also youre slowly wearing your car out for hardly anything.
Here is one... with the utmost respect... if everyone quit driving for companies like that, they would have to change fast or they would be out of business fast... I know it's not likely... The other option is to find a better opportunity for yourself, Maybe UPS...
What’s to stop the employer from hiring extra people in between the time of the election to favor against the union? What about intimidation tactics, firing and other retaliatory measures before the election date?
I guess you gotta talk yourself out of the fear. Hiring ten new scabs out of the blue is hard enough, is it a really long term solution anyway? Your company could be losing way more money with an incompetent work-force. They should be the ones scared not you. You weren't making any money anyway hence ya wanna unionize lol! So go ahead. Replace me with someone dumber, lazier, who doesn't know their worth. I'm sure that'll work out splendid...for me
All 4 of these comments are great! I'd just add.. technically if it's all kept under wraps until election cards are signed and they are notified than any termination would be retaliation and is illegal based on the NLRA.
Question: How is a union not a corporation itself? It seems like a franchise based company for labor lawyers. It’s seems equivalent to putting a lawyer on retainer. What am I missing? “The Union” insert “Franchise Lawyer”? Wrong?
Very wrong. A Union is made up by and run by the workers and negotiates for higher wages, better benefits, better working conditions, and sometimes shorter hours on behalf of workers. The dues go towards organizing strikes (labors biggest weapon against capital), health benefits, and organizing other workerplaces as well, usually in the same industry or in the same company in a different area.
I'd probly join if they didn't donate my money to every degenerate disgusting thing I hate in this world. I just don't value money enough to do that. You know what I'm talking about.
Given time unions collectively bargain their jobs away. Ask me how I know. Look around your house or office can you find anything made in the USA? “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” -George Carlin
So because theres not a sticker with a usa flag on it then unions dont make sense? You must not have worked hard in your life because ive put in alot of American hard work and theres no roll of stickers to put on anything that ive ever seen. Im certain you havent either. it doesnt need to be a manufacturing job to need a union.
So no blame should go to the greedy corporations right? We shouldn't even try to fight them for fair pay and a good workplace? Because if we do open our mouths then they will just move to china and we won't have any jobs... That's a risk I. Willing to take. I work for. Company that produces nearly half of all trucking engines in north America. They make tons of money. Yet they mistreat their workers. And the pay is hardly more than Walmart or fast food! So I guess of the union causes them to pick up and leave... We really aren't out that damn much.
Globalization by corporations looking for literal slave children to make stuff they sell to you is the fault of organized american workers? Your shouldn't let your corporate masters inform your view of the world.
Also. George Carlin HATED corporations in America and what they were doing in his early standup. He was DEFINITELY talking about people like you man. Lol
Teamsters union is losing ground with negotiations and have been corrupt for years, retirement is a joke. They had great purpose back in the 30s and 40s even through the 60s but nowadays with new labor laws and especially with labor shortages the drivers are "in the driver seat".

You can negotiate almost anything IF you have a union

The process is about fighting for your rights, and fighting isn't easy. Bad guys can win. You have to try your best if you believe it's worth it
It's best to not tell them your intentions and set up before revealing your hand

They improve wages and benefits for workers. Labor lawyers would be out of a job if industry paid everyone a living wage.
Very wrong. A Union is made up by and run by the workers and negotiates for higher wages, better benefits, better working conditions, and sometimes shorter hours on behalf of workers. The dues go towards organizing strikes (labors biggest weapon against capital), health benefits, and organizing other workerplaces as well, usually in the same industry or in the same company in a different area.
Corporations are run solely for profit, and serve the interests of capital owners and the big investors of the corporation.
