Among the many lies that the union has told ...

one of the biggest is that they will leave if they don't get paid, that they don't work for nothing. That when they leave, we will lose our jobs or that our salaries will be reduced. That we need them now more than ever!  Yeah, right!

Just why is this union so focused on getting more money for doing nothing?

Could it be because union officials have been found guilty of misappropriating funds, which must now be repaid?  

Let us tell you about an SEIU official by the name of Tyrone Freeman:  Mr. Freeman is facing a maximum sentence of 180 years for his crime!

But don't take our word for it, read the story for yourselves:

You have your ballots, now it's time to vote!

 

 

Just to remove any confusion that you might have about what we are voting on, we will give you the particulars.

A "yes" vote will, if passed, rescind SEIU's ability to force you to pay dues to keep your job.

A "no" vote will, if passed, continue to allow SEIU to force you to pay dues in order to keep your job.

We, of course, urge a "yes" vote.

Over the many years that SEIU has represented the workforce, the only accomplishments that they have achieved have resulted in "givebacks."  Small wonder that CAS is so silent right now!  It appears that CAS and the union have agreed upon another back-room deal to further screw the workforce. Don't be surprised when it happens.

Figure out for yourselves how much those givebacks have actually cost you.

No parking allowance, reduced vacation accrual rate and holiday pay, no shoe allowance, and to top it all off we now have a higher medical co-pay!

The choice should be clear and obvious:  vote "yes."

We have been asked to help!

SEIU: The lying liars and the lies they tell!

What's The Truth? Part II

Lie # One: " In an open shop, if less than 50% of the workers are paying dues, Covenant does not have to recognize SEIU anymore"

THAT IS FALSE.  IF THE UNION IS THE CERTIFIED REPRESENTATIVE, EVEN IF 100% OF THE EMPLOYEES STOPPED PAYING, COVENANT WOULD STILL HAVE TO RECOGNIZE AND DEAL WITH THEM.

Lie # TWO: " If we become an open shop, SEIU will leave!"

THAT COULD BE TRUE. SOMETIMES UNIONS "DISCLAIM" REPRESENTATION AND LEAVE WHEN THEY CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE TO PAY. THE NLRB SAYS THEY CAN DO THAT, THOUGH I DOUBT THAT SEIU WOULD EVER WALK AWAY FROM A HIGH PROFILE UNIT LIKE THIS, EVEN IF ONLY A TINY PERCENTAGE OF THE EMPLOYEES PAID DUES.

The two questions above were submitted to a Labor Attorney with 30 years of experience.


LIE # THREE: " We need the money; we do not work for free! "

This is the biggest lie of them all! The Union does not use all  of the dues money, the facts are; Very little stays in the unit ( chapter ) after the San Francisco and the San Mateo Labor Councils take a " Cut of the money," the bulk of it goes to the main international branch of SEIU in Washington, D.C., and they have millions of dollars!

SEIU is a big tent and if the unit needs money they can get it anytime, if they need it. SEIU ( Lying Liars ) will never go broke!

Remember:  SEIU never has and never will represent us the way a union should.

Vote Yes!

Vote yourself a Raise!

Updated info on the upcoming union decertification vote

We have been asked to pass this info along to you.

The NLRB will start mailing the voting packets on July 12th and 13th. These packets will include a self addressed stamped envelope for you to mail in your ballot. You will have two weeks in which to mail in your yes vote.  The ballots will be sent to, and counted by, the NLRB.  The votes will be counted on July 29th.

A yes vote will remove the requirement of having to pay dues to keep your job.

To be clear, this is not a vote to remove SEIU, it is only a vote to remove their ability to force you to pay dues.  Dues can still be paid to SEIU on a voluntary basis if you still want to pay dues.

To what degree will the managerial shortcomings of CAS become obvious his week?

The combination of the BART strike and the staffing shortages should completely overwhelm the capabilities of our stellar management team. One of these two difficulties is beyond our control. The other is self-induced. With staffing levels being what they are, one can only hope that everyone reports for duty.

CAS has found it fit to block out any and all requests for personal time off in order to maximize their profit. How else can they make this style of management work?

Once again it shows a total disregard for the wants and needs of the workforce. Once again it shows that their only motivation is to generate the maximum amount of profit, at the expense of the workforce and their families.

One can infer that this would result in an inferior level of service, which would once again negatively impact the stakeholders. When will the stakeholders get the type of service that they deserve?
