LIES...LIES...and MORE lies

The company is putting out a lot of lies to try to scare you and weaken us at the bargaining table.  They want us to get only what they want to give us and ignore all the things we need.  This is our only chance for the Union to try to get you a fair wage increase and fix some of our problems on the job.  AT&T Mobility management wants to steal that chance from us and wants you to help them.

Lie#1 – Management can force you to resign.

The truth – They can not.  You have a legal right to be a Union member and they cannot force you to quit.

Lie #2 – They can fire you on Monday if you don't resign and if we don't have a contract

The truth – They cannot.  In fact it is illegal for them to try to scare you into quitting the Union or discipline you in any way for being a Union member.

Lie #3 – They can stop you from wearing signs of solidarity with the Union, like wearing a red pin or bracelet.

The truth – They should not. The law says you have a right to wear items in support of the Union unless they can prove it disrupts their business.  If your boss demands that you remove your button, or other item, you should do it and find other ways to show your support.  Let the Union know so we can fight it.

This illegal activity on the part of the AT&T Mobility will not go unchallenged. The National Labor Relations Act covers these violations.  Don't fall for their tricks!  Call the Union if you are approached with any of these lies.  The only way will win a good contract is if we stick together.
