Flexjet Unionization

Tick-tock tick-tock..... The alarm will sound soon.

Fingers crossed, cheeks clenched!

When will you know? A friend asked about it yesterday and as I have not started class I have no idea.

 

[DirtyBeech]

There's some momentum for it now, but after we see how paltry our raises will be I think you'll see the deal clencher.

 

[doh]

Any word on how many cards are in?

 

[Rouge Warrior]

Are you making sure new hires are given cards during indoc?

 

[Nolife]

What's the deadline for turning in the cards?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

There is no deadline. It is just an ongoing effort to get the authorization cards, of which we need 70%. Once we get those, then the official union drive begins, and there will be a vote somewhere down the road, and THAT is the important vote which will have a deadline. But like I said, thats down the road. Right now we just need the authorization cards sent in. And remember, the authorization card is not a "yes" vote. You can make up your mind about that later. This just allows the Teamsters to run an official drive.

If you want a true voice at Flex you will fill out the card. Your opinion will not be heard in any other arena, including the one provided by the company.

I believe we need 65% per the IBT to officially start the drive. You are correct this is not a vote for the union, but only to petition them to try to represent us. You have nothing to lose by turning in a card. Send in your cards and decide yes or no when we actually vote.

For all newhires, you must go to:

Print the card and fax it in. While you are there sign up for the message board. It is 100% confidential and there is alot of good discussion going on.
