Don’t let management deny you your rights as an employee that are protected by Federal Labor Law. Here’s what YOU CAN DO, and MANAGEMENT LEGALLY CANNOT DO: All Employees:CAN openly join, support, and organize for the union. CAN distribute and receive union literature. CAN wear SEIU buttons and stickers. CAN take part in collective steps to improve your wages and working conditions. CAN exercise the right of free speech. (If you are permitted to talk about community and social activities at work, you can talk about the union as long as it doesn’t interfere with the normal flow of work.) CAN attend union meetings. CAN file grievances for violations of the contract. CAN ask your colleagues to attend a meeting or take part in other union activities.
| Management:CANNOT discriminate against us for supporting or being a member of the union. CANNOT prevent us from distributing union literature as long as work is not interrupted. CANNOT prevent us from wearing union buttons. CANNOT threaten us with job loss, reduction in pay or reduced promotional opportunities because we support the union. CANNOT interfere with our right to free speech. CANNOT take part in union business. CANNOT permit other unions or organizations to solicit and distribute literature in work areas while denying us the same right. CANNOT question our feelings about the union.

THESE ARE YOUR RIGHTS--USE THEM OR LOSE THEM!
INSIST THAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED!
Getting pulled into a boss's office and told not to talk union is a violation of your rights!If your rights are being trampled, don't fight it alone. Write up an incident report with the time, date, who said what, and witnesses. We can file grievances to the National Labor Relations Board. IT'S A FACT OF LIFE: THERE IS POWER IN NUMBERS. |
