Terre Haute, Indiana denies workers right to organize

It is insane. The maintenance workers in the Terre Haute parks department voted unanimously to join the Teamsters local, and the city is refusing to acknowledge the vote in what appears to be a flagrant violation of federal labor law. I urge the city workers to stand together and stand firm on this infringement of their right to organize.

"But Boyd said that nobody notified him as to why workers want to join a union. Parks Superintendent Greg Ruark said in October that no workers had given him reasons for their interest in regards to the election. "

Yo, Greg, the reason that the workers want to have a union is to insure that they receive fair pay and benefits, as well as protection. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Last I checked the workers do not have to tell the bosses why they are organizing. They organized as is their right, and like the bosses do you are stamping on their rights. If they had told you, you would have offered the usual false promises that union busters offer to keep the workers from standing as one.

It gives Operation: Mindcrime a warm feeling to see that even this day in age that workers are standing together as one to create a union shop despite the hostile conditions for organized labor. A great kudos goes out to the maintenance workers in the Terre Haute, Indiana for showing what workers can do by standing together. It is a shame that the city government of Terre Haute, Indiana have to be union busters. I urge the citizens of Terre Haute to make their voices heard so that their city knows that workers rights are important to the citizens.

By standing with the workers, you are taking a stand for your won workplace rights, by opposing them you are for further degradation of the American Worker such as yourself. Which side are you on?
