Is SEIU insisting on card check and a neutrality agreement for union organizing?
No. SEIU is not insisting on a card check procedure or neutrality. We are asking for fair rules so that employees can make up their own decision whether or not to form a union. Unfortunately, federal labor law is currently too weak to protect employees rights and allows management broad leeway to intimidate and coerce employees. An election agreement would include: • A prohibition against wasting precious health care resources on expensive anti-union consultants; • A mutual obligation to campaign positively and not to disparage the other party; • A prohibition against employees being pulled away from patients and forced to attend intimidation meetings; • Avoidance of unnecessary delay or legal challenges.
