Whew!, That could have created a mess!!!
I always tyhought the card check was to see if an election would be requested. Sometimes if the percentage of the cards is so lopsided one way or the other, then maybe the election could be waived by mutual agreement. If the outcome of the card check was close ...like 52% to 48% an election would occur, but if it was like 80 or 85% in favor, maybe they would waive the vote.
I just found this definition
Employees in many workplaces ask management to enter into so-called "card check" agreements, in which management agrees to voluntarily recognize the union if a majority of employees sign authorization forms or "cards." Employers may enter into these agreements to maintain good relations with their employees, to maintain good relations with unions at their other worksites, or to maintain a favorable public image.

terminals at motor cargo are signing cards as we speak....if you do not want the union it does not mean you can not support the ones who do, it will be in your best interest.

That doesn't make you a bad person in my book. If you feel you need the union then you have the right to sign cards and I will defend your right to. That's what this beautiful country is all about.
IF the majority sign cards then I won't be here crying about it. This is UPSF and I'm just waiting to see how it all goes down.
As a kid myself, 18-19, I got a job as a carpenter at a fiberglass boat building factory. You didn't need to be buzzed before work there. Because of the fumes you would be fried within a half hour after starting. And after work you didn't want to get buzzed either. You just wanted to come down. But that is where I saw the LTL's delivering parts. That job looked pretty easy, LOL. Anyway the next thing I know I was pounding the dock for the old double diamonds-McClean Trucking. Geez, I'm feeling old!! Wow....what was I saying?stldude44 said:

Who passes out the cards? When that happens do you think UPS will fight it? The workers are the union not the teamsters. I don't think some of the the workers understand the power they can have. I feel alot of energy is wasted becuse some don't like the teamsters or some teamsters push to hard. Anybody can start a union. To throwaway your right for a union a right to vote is like throwing part of America away. With the right leaders a union is a no brainer.

The glue factory is where I got the idea that driving a truck would be a good way to earn a living. It was 1976 and I was making about $3.50 an hour and the Union LTL drivers who made P&Ds were making $7.76......I was loading and unloading and they were helping, but I knew I was on the wrong end of the career scale there. I got a job driving a dump truck to learn about the gears and within a year I BSed my way into a tractor trailer job and the rest is history. We have alot in common in the beginnings of our so-called careers!
