Flexjet Unionization

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

 

[JokerFuel]

Fingers crossed, cheeks clenched!

 

[Rouge Warrior]

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.

 

[JokerFuel]

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.

No, they aren't.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

No, they aren't.

well its not like we can just walk into class every week and hand them out. management might frown on that

He is absolutely correct. At least fill it out and send it in. If you don't want the union then you have your voice when it comes time to vote. The worst that can happen from everyone sending the cards in is that when a vote comes, it doesn't pass.

Hey B19,

I checked out your website. I have to tell you. That was some funny stuff.

Here's another good one. www.imbored.com

I wish I could make you understand the benefits and increase in the quality of life for my family that IBT1108 has done. I have personally met all but a handful of the leaders and will tell you that they are some of the most intelligent, dedicated, and hard working people I have ever met. I couldn't ask for better representation.
