I need the help of someone who knows how the union works. Im a custodian who talked my coworkers into trying to unionize. Everybody was on board. I contacted AFC-CIO and SEIU. Got a nice form letter reply saying welcome to the battle kind of stuff. The AFC-CIO sent my request to SEIU and i recieved another flowery form letter. Few weeks passed and never heard back so i sent a request to both for further info. Gave it a few days, never heard back. Began sending requests every couple of days for 2 months now. Not a single reply.
Now my coworkers are anti union pointing out that if they ignore us now what will they be like once they have our dues. I tried to point out you cant judge the union because of a few incompetent members dropping the ball but everyone is more pissed off than before this started. Im pissed off too.
Do i have any options at this point? Wonder if the union knows that its own people are creating anti union sentiment. If this is common place I totaly get why union jobs are growing increasingly rare.
