I had the privilege of speaking at the American Rights to Work Tour yesterday evening. Thanks to Jobs with Justice (http://www.massjwj.net/) for thinking of the Kendall for this Teach-in. I was honored to be included and totally humbled by all the speakers who have to deal with far worse, in much more difficult jobs and risk way more than I ever did in order to make companies recognize their rights.
I was asked specifically to address management’s response to our union drive (hiring Labor Relations Solution [lrs2win.com] and flying in Landmark employees to tell us how great the company is, etc.).
One thing I can’t stress enough (and didn’t stress much last night as my public speaking skills are one step short of horrendous) is the amount of money Landmark wasted on a third party to come in and try to stop 19 people from voting in a union. I wish I knew how much money they spent and still ended up with a 17 to 1 vote. Think of how much two “No” votes would have cost!
Thanks to everyone who put together such a great event and thank you to all the speakers who participated!
