Union Persuasion
“All your co-workers have signed already.”
The union organizers are trained like sales men and women to use tricks to get you to sign a
union card.

Union Persuasion
“Fill this card out if you want more information.”Shouldn’t you have all the
information you need before signing anything?

Union Persuasion
“Signing the card is really just giving everyone the chance to vote.”
NOT TRUEUnions use signed cards to try to bypass an
election, as “proof” a majority want the union.

Our Thoughts About the Union
![Page 16: Card signingpresentation ibt-lt](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5538ecaa550346f53d8b48be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How A Union Could Impact You
Unions are not free – dues may be deducted directly from your paycheck.
The Union would speak for you at work –
whether you agree or not.
A Union would limit how we can solve problems together.
![Page 17: Card signingpresentation ibt-lt](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/5538ecaa550346f53d8b48be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You can ask, but the union is not required
to return a signed card.* *We are not
encouraging and cannot assist you.
I s igned a card!
Can I get it back?
