What don't you understand 6% is pulled by outside carriers (trucks) not trains 28% is put on rail (trains) not trucks. None of this would have to be done if the bottom feeder carriers would raise their rates & take the money from the customer instead of its employees....Get it now?

From what I can tell the argument is all about the actual numbers rather than the reason.

He isn't sure what he is arguing about.

Give him enough time and he may come to a point.

So far it's really all very uninteresting.

Card check is not law in the USA so the employer would have to be in agreement to go that route. 20% of eligible workers can get an election going but it is not enough to win if that is all you get. If one Local or Union does not want to represent you try another, there are several to choose from.

Union got paid. Follow the money. It never lies.
 
unions don't push elections they wont win. you are partially right about the money, as in it would be a huge WASTE to try and organize a barn that doesn't have the votes. they wont waste resources if the support isn't there. the union does have this down to a science, they know how many people will get scared and fall of the wagon, they are well versed in who is genuine, and who goes to union meetings, then right into managements office to rat everyone out. its sort of an interesting lesson on amateur psychology. a good organizer can call a votes numbers pretty close.
