2. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
With a union, employers
cannot reduce your wages,
health benefits, vacation,
sick leave, life insurance,
holidays, pensions, or
other working conditions
without your agreement.

3. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
That union workers
do not bargain
themselves out of
jobs.

4. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
Companies do not
go out of business
because they pay
their workers a
decent wage and
provide benefits;
companies go out of
business because of
poor market
conditions or poor
management.

5. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
That the union is not
an outside, third
party, but is
comprised of you
and your fellow
workers.

6. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
That without a
union you work
under "at-will"
conditions, with
your employer in
complete control.

7. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
Unions protect their
members from
unfair disciplinary
actions and firings.
Under a union
contract supervisors
or managers no
longer have the final
say. They are no
longer judge and
jury all in one.

8. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
That a union
grievance procedure
has a neutral
arbitrator, not
management, as the
final step.

9. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
That a workplace
without a union is
undemocratic.

10. What the Bosses Won’t Tell You
That most workers
who are aware of the
facts believe unions
are necessary and
valuable.
