Some of this has already been posted, but there are some fantastic movements across the lower 48 States, that you will probably want to know about!!!
The first critical election hurdle in a push for more than 1,000 satellite television installers occurred on June 14 in Tampa, Fla. Today the score stands 1-0 for the workers against the company that hired union-busters and attempted to intimidate workers all the way along.
Despite a vigorous six-week anti-union campaign by the company, MasTec, workers prevailed in a 46-39 vote. Now, the campaign moves to Fort Pierce, where organizers filed a petition for an NLRB election on June 13. Organizing efforts are ongoing in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland and Virginia.
