Charter Employees

      As most of you already know, about a month ago some of your fellow employees contacted the IBEW and asked for help in organizing Charter and gaining a voice in the workplace through collective bargaining.

 

      Representatives of IBEW Local Union 466 started meeting with interested employees and soon a Volunteer Organizing Committee was formed. The IBEW then started training us in our rights under United States law and how the process of organizing our workplace works.

 

      We are in the process of reaching out to all employees of Charter to see if they too have interest in helping to organize a Union, but unfortunately we have not reached everyone as this process has taken quite a bit of time.

 

       Our employer has started having “Captive Audience” meetings to convince us that a Union would not do us any good. It is curious that the company would spend this much money trying to prevent us from exercising our rights to organize under law. And still more curious is the fact that the company is willing to spend this money on something they say will do us no good. If it wouldn’t help us it seems that they wouldn’t bother.

 

       In an effort to reach everyone more quickly your Volunteer Organizing Committee has put together this web page with the help of the IBEW to give all employees access to all the facts about Organizing and Collective bargaining. Just click on any of the links below for more information. Please make sure you have all the information necessary to make an informed decision on this important matter.

 

       If you have questions please ask any of the Volunteer Organizing Committee.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Your Volunteer Organizing Committee
