Collective Campaigns

287 members showed up, asked hard questions for two hours, and sent the committee back to the table with a mandate. THAT is what the company is negotiating against. Watch #bargaining-updates for session recaps.

Demand

250 members on the floor for the ratification meeting.

Value to counterparty

Visible turnout as leverage at the bargaining table.

Alternatives (BATNA)

Low turnout signals weak resolve to management.

Eleven Brothers and Sisters caught the Plant 2 line shutdown. The recall list is real but slow. Until then: grocery cards, one covered utility bill per household, and a standing invite to every Local event — laid off is not locked out. An injury to one is an injury to all.

Demand

Grocery cards + one utility bill for 15 affected families.

Value to counterparty

Standing invite to every Local event — laid off is not locked out.

Alternatives (BATNA)

Without support, laid-off members drift away from the Local.

The bargaining committee is at the table fighting for the 12% and COLA you voted to demand. A full strike fund is our leverage BEFORE it's our lifeline — the company reads our balance the way we read theirs. The strongest strike is the one you never have to call. Chip in what your paycheck allows; it stays in the fund until members vote otherwise.

Demand

8 weeks of hardship benefits for 400 members.

Value to counterparty

A full strike fund is leverage at the table, not just a lifeline after.

Alternatives (BATNA)

Without a visible fund, the company reads our resolve as bluff.
