Team Member Rights

Federal law protects your right to make an informed decision about whether or not you want to be represented by a labor union.

We respect your rights and want to make sure you understand them. Under the National Labor Relations Act, you have the right to:

  1. Sign, or not to sign any document from the union, either in-person or online
  2. Choose to attend or not to attend meetings organized by the union
  3. Engage or decline to engage with anyone from the union – including pro-union co-workers – on the phone or in person (either at work or at home)
  4. Join or refuse to join a Facebook group or any discussions on social media with anyone from the union – including pro-union co-workers
  5. Ask whether or not a form or petition you are handed gives the union your authority to represent you or charge you money
  6. Allow or prevent anyone from the union – including pro-union co-workers – to come into your home or onto your property
  7. Speak or decline to speak with anyone from the union – including pro-union co-workers – between shifts or during your break or lunch time
  8. Accept or reject flyers, stickers or buttons from the union

It is your choice how you want to handle being approached by union representatives or your co-workers who support the union.

  • You can talk with your colleagues and share your reasons, feelings and opinions.
