The Shot Heard Round The World:
Hospital Technology Workers Come Together
To advance Professionalism and Patient Safety, Radiographers at Salem Hospital are spearheading a campaign to bring union representation, in conjunction with The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2321, to all Technology Workers at our campus. In Unity, there is Strength.
IBEW... The Right Choice!
The Right To Organize:
Know The Truth
"Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection..." Section 7 (U.S. Code Title 29, Chapter 7 § 157)
What does that mean?
*It means that employees have the legal right to help organize, to join and to support a union of their own choosing. This includes such activities as signing a union card, getting others to sign cards, attending union meetings, wearing union buttons, passing out union literature to other employees.
*It means that employees have the legal right to deal with their employer as a group, rather than individually.
*It gives the employees the legal right to take such group action as they feel necessary in order to achieve their desired goals so long as these actions violate no other laws.
*You may solicit signatures from your co-workers in both work and non-work areas, as long as it is during non-work time.
* You may distribute union literature during non-work time.
*You may distribute union literature only in non-work areas. "Non-work areas" are areas not related to production, such as: 1. break rooms, 2. locker rooms, 3. coffee machine areas, 4. company parking lots.
