FACTS

• Union organizers make "promises" to team members to obtain their signatures on union cards
• In fact, at a hospital that was just unionized with the Teamsters said they are in the same health care plan that applies to all of the hospitals non-union members

• You may lose the flexibility you have now to work directly with your manager to resolve workplace issues, such as scheduling, paid time off, and holidays.
• Seniority generally governs labor contracts. if you have less seniority than others, you may lose current rights, opportunities, and privileges to more senior team members.
• Not exactly, a union will address your facility collectively. If you have special circumstances such as you get to come to work an hour later because you are a single parent. that is probably not going to be happening because they don't go through each and every employee to see what they need in the contract. There are no special circumstances.

• No, you cannot just get rid of them. If you do not have a contract signed yet you can vote them out in a 30-day period at the end of that first year. If you do have a contract there will be a 30-day window at the end of your contract that you will have 30 days to vote them out. If you decide to do so you only have 30 days to get a showing of interest petition the govt and do all the things you did to get them in except with no help from your facility, you are on your own. You could receive backlash from your union. I have personal experience with the Teamsters through a friend of mine her animals were threatened, her tires were slashed, the union people within the facility were terrible to her at work.
