1. NOW THAT YOU WANT A UNION THE COMPANY FOUND THE THAT OPENS THE DOOR THIS WAS THE COMPANY’S OPEN DOOR POLICY

2. I need a better job! I see a job with higher wages and better benefits for your family. Will I have to relocate? No, continue working where you are. Your employer will be Union!

3. WE ARE A MERIT CONTRACTOR THE DEFINITION OF MERIT IS: EXCELLENCE, WORTH, SOMETHING DESERVING, DESERVE. SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION HAS ALWAYS AGREED WITH THIS DEFINITION. YOU ARE EXCELLENT WORKERS AND DESERVE A CONTRACT WHERE EVERYONE IS TREATED EQUALLY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CONTRACTOR ONLY LOOKS AT PART OF THIS DEFINITION: $ WORTH $ VALUE AND WEALTH AT YOUR EXPENSE!! MERIT

4. WE ARE A MERIT COMPANY THE DEFINITION OF MERIT IS: EXCELLENCE, WORTH, SOMETHING DESERVING, DESERVE. SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION HAS ALWAYS AGREED WITH THIS DEFINITION. YOU ARE EXCELLENT WORKERS AND DESERVE A CONTRACT WHERE EVERYONE IS TREATED EQUALLY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY ONLY LOOKS AT PART OF THIS DEFINITION: $ WORTH $ VALUE AND WEALTH AT YOUR EXPENSE!! MERIT

5. A REAL FAMILY IS THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION WE DON’T NEED AN OUTSIDE THIRD PARTY UNION AT THIS COMPANY !

6. WHEN THE COMPANY FINDS OUT THE EMPLOYEES WANT A UNION, SUDDENLY GOOD MANNERS APPEAR? CAUTION!!! EXPECT TRICKS & DECEPTION FROM THE COMPANY

9. “WE ARE FAMILY” IS WHAT THE COMPANY WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE! WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN?

10. A FEWTIPS FOR THE EMPLOYER YOUR WORKERS ARE PROTECTED BY THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT “WHILE FORMING OR ATTEMPTING TO FORM A UNION AMONG THE EMPLOYEES OF A COMPANY” IT IS UNLAWFUL TO SUBJECT EMPLOYEES TO: T HREATS I NTERROGATION P ROMISES S PYING

11. YOUR RIGHT TO ORGANIZE IS PROTECTED BY THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT NO ONE FROM THE COMPANY IS ALLOWED TO SPY ON WORKERS WHEN THEY ARE FORMING A UNION !! UNION HALL GUESS WHO’S AT A UNION MEETING COMPANY CAR

12. Now that the company is finally asking you how everything is going, we would like to visit your home to explain this change in attitude. We want to answer your questions and explain the benefits of our Union to you and your family.

13. ____ UNION WAGES - ____ YOUR WAGES = ____ DUES YOU PAY NOW

14. “I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE UNION. I WANT THE NAMES OF EVERYONE SUPPORTING THIS UNION.” LEGALLY, YOU SHOULD KNOW!! NO ONE FROM THE COMPANY CAN ASK YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT WORKERS FORMING A UNION. YOUR RIGHT TO FORM A UNION IS PROTECTED BY THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT

15. NEW SECTION OPEN DOOR POLICY ______________ NEW SECTION WE ARE FAMILY ____________ ___________ ______ WHERE HAS IT BEEN? NOW THE COMPANY WANTS TO USE IT! IS THIS A COINCIDENCE OR IS IT BECAUSE YOU WANT A UNION ?

16. “LOOK, I HAVE ANOTHER CHARGE FROM THE NLRB. YOU SAID I COULD THREATEN AND COERCE MY EMPLOYEES. WHAT DO I DO NOW?” “I’M CONSULTING WITH THREE OTHER ATTORNEYS ABOUT YOUR CASE AS WE SPEAK. YOU TRIED THE FAMILY THING, NOW YOU HAVE TO SCARE THEM A LITTLE MORE!”

18. Typically, companies do not believe employees are entitled to better wages and conditions. It is not their policy to share profits with employees. They usually resort to scare tactics such as threatening to close, relocating, downsizing, outsourcing work, layoffs, etc. These tactics are used to scare employees from forming a Union and having a voice. IF OUR EMPLOYEES VOTE FOR A UNION

19. Union THE BOSS WANTS TO TAKE THE “YOU” OUT OF THE UNION. THEY WANT YOU TO THINK OF THE UNION AS AN OUTSIDE FORCE. THEY WANT YOU TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE UNION OR THEM. THEY WANT YOU TO THINK ONLY OF THEIR INTEREST AND NOT YOUR OWN INTEREST. YOU HAVE INTEREST TOO, EQUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE. YOU SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION. STOP BEING PART OF A ”DO - IT - YOURSELF” OR MERIT SYSTEM. “YOU” AND YOUR FELLOW WORKERS HAVE A CHOICE FOR A BETTER FUTURE, WHEN YOU FORM A UNION.

20. CONTRACT LET’S PUT IT IN Writing OUR SOCIETY IS BASED ON LEGAL CONTRACTS. WHEN YOU BUY A HOUSE, CAR, INSURANCE, ANYTIME YOU FINANCE, YOU SIGN A CONTRACT. YOU ARE SELLING THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE HOUR BY HOUR - DAY BY DAY, ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN WITHOUT A CONTRACT!! IT IS TIME YOU HAD A CONTRACT THAT GUARANTEES GOOD WAGES, GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS AND GOOD BENEFITS. SHEET METAL WORKERS’ UNION SIGN CONTRACTS TOO AND FOR THE BEST OF REASONS, TO PROTECT WORKERS RIGHTS Union Company

21. WHEN THE BOSS IS THE JUDGE, JURY AND PROSECUTOR! DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ARE A FACT OF LIFE IN THE WORKPLACE. DECISIONS ABOUT PAY, HOURS, PROMOTIONS, DISCIPLINE, SCHEDULING AND MORE CAN PROVOKE CONFLICTS......ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS FAVORITISM OR UNEQUAL TREATMENT. IN THE NON-UNION COMPANY THE EMPLOYER DECIDES EVERYTHING. THE COMPANY IS THE LAW, JUDGE, JURY AND PROSECUTOR. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. WITH A UNION CONTRACT YOUR RIGHTS ARE DEFINED!!!

22. THE COMPANY WANTS TO GO INTO EXTRA INNINGS USING UNDERHANDED TACTICS Whenever workers start to organize themselves into a union, there is one thing they nearly always experience --- DELAY! It doesn't take much thought to come up with the answers to the questions of "why” and "who" wants the delay. Everyone knows that the government NLRB election procedure takes time. Now, let's see who wants to delay and why. Certainly it isn't your union. You have already signed cards that show the government you want the election and you want it now! The boss doesn't feel that way. Let's say that when your union is voted in, you negotiate better wages and other benefits. Multiply this increase times the number of workers and you can see how much the company saves each week it delays the election. Isn’t it strange, that the company spends the money you’re entitled to on an expensive Attorney, while they say you don’t need an outside Union to represent you? Yet, the company brings in an outside Attorney to tell them how to interfere with your rights and with your money!! And there's another reason. Companies think that delays help to discourage you. It gives them time to whittle away at you and change a few votes, so it will weaken your union's chances in the election. Just remember these facts. If the time seems to drag on, the company is trying to protect its pocketbook and weaken you. Your best defense is to be more determined than ever to win the election and take the wages and benefits guaranteed in your contract!

23. YES THE OWNER HAS RIGHTS!!!! FOR EXAMPLE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO JOIN ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS OR ANY ORGANIZATION. YOU DIDN’T OBJECT WHEN THE COMPANY JOINED AN ORGANIZATION. YOU DIDN’T SAY, “YOU’RE LETTING AN OUTSIDE GROUP COME BETWEEN US.” ACTUALLY, JOINING ANY ORGANIZATION IS THE OWNERS BUSINESS AND NOT YOURS. LIKEWISE, JOINING A UNION IS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES BUSINESS, NOT THE OWNERS BUSINESS. YOU DON’T TELL THE OWNER HOW TO RUN THEIR BUSINESS THE OWNER SHOULD NOT TELL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HOW TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS!!!

24. YES THE OWNER HAS RIGHTS!!!! FOR EXAMPLE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO JOIN ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, NATIONAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION OR ANY ORGANIZATION. YOU DIDN’T OBJECT WHEN THE COMPANY JOINED AN ORGANIZATION. YOU DIDN’T SAY, “YOU’RE LETTING AN OUTSIDE GROUP COME BETWEEN US.” ACTUALLY, JOINING ANY ORGANIZATION IS THE OWNERS BUSINESS AND NOT YOURS. LIKEWISE, JOINING A UNION IS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES BUSINESS, NOT THE OWNERS BUSINESS. YOU DON’T TELL THE OWNER HOW TO RUN THEIR BUSINESS THE OWNER SHOULD NOT TELL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HOW TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS!!!

25. A UNION IS NOT FORMED TO FIGHT THE EMPLOYER. YOUR UNION IS ORGANIZED TO MAKE THINGS BETTER AND MORE FAIR FOR EVERYONE. YOUR OWNER IS BUSY. IT TAKES TIME TO RUN A BUSINESS. THE COMPANY HAS TO BE EFFICIENT AND PROFITABLE. THERE ARE MANY DETAILS IN RUNNING A BUSINESS. A COMPANY DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE THE TIME TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS WITH INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES. WITH A UNION, THERE IS A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT. IT COVERS WAGES, HOURS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT. EVERYONE IS TREATED EQUALLY AND PROVIDES A METHOD OF SETTLING COMPLAINTS. A UNION CONTRACT IS GOOD BUSINESS Nobody’s Mad At Anybody !

26. Contract Better Wages Pension Family Health Care Better Conditions

27. Hello WE ARE EMPLOYED BY _______________________ WE HAVE PRESENTED A PETITION TO OUR EMPLOYER REQUESTING THAT CERTAIN JOB CONDITIONS BE CHANGED OR ALTERED. THE COMPANY HAS REFUSED OUR REQUEST.
