DETAILS ABOUT THE UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS INTERNATIONAL UNION

NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES ABOUT THE UNION ELECTION

NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES...

Honey Sour has heard the union might be in the process of trying to organize our company by getting our employees to sign union cards.

The Union has to get at least 30% of our employees to sign union cards. Then the Union has to submit your union cards to the National Labor Relations Board (a neutral government agency) to schedule an election to determine if you really want to be represented by the Union.

Our Employees have the right to sign or not sign a union card. It is your free choice. The Union probably has stated they Guarantee you higher wages and benefits. Honey Sour believes that this is just a standard empty campaign promise by the Union, just like a politician's promise. Between now and any possible election, the Union will continue to promise you the best contract, more job security, increased wages, health insurance, holidays, vacation that might

exist at other Union companies.

DON’T FALL FOR THE UNION'S FALSE PROMISES and LIES. Honey Sour absolutely GUARANTEES in writing that these union promises are false. We pay your wages and benefits and not the Union. The Union can’t GUARANTEE anything.

Unfortunately, it is legal for Union organizers to make all kinds of false promises. However, the law prohibits our company from making any promises at all for higher wages and benefits during the election. Apparently, the Union uses this loophole in the law to try to mislead employees into believing it can GUARANTEE higher wages and benefits.

Why do our employees need an outside party to bargain for you and take you hard-earned money in dues, which is approximately $75 per month or more, along with other expenses like initiation fees, when we know that a happy group of employees is necessary to our success? In fact, the Union in 2002 had approximately 1,362 members, and in 2020 only had 1,262 members. The union lost approximately 10% of its members in Butte, Mt. and it is at Honey Sour to get your dues since they need more members. In fact, as with other Union Contracts, if you do not pay your dues or other fees, the Union could ask your company to fire you after 30 days of employment or the signing of a contract if you do not pay Union dues.

Please don't fall for the Union's pressure tactics and false promises and lies. Honey Sour believes you have the right to join or not join the Union or sign a union card. It is a free country. But we do not think we need the Union at Honey Sour We hope you agree and will not sign a union card or vote for the Union.
