  • Of Unionization in the Workplace
    A MACKINAC CENTER REPORT THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES of Unionization in the Workplace CHRISTOPHER C. DOUGLAS, PH.D. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is a nonpartisan research and educational institute dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Michigan citizens by promoting sound solutions to state and local policy questions. The Mackinac Center assists policymakers, scholars, businesspeople, the media and the public by providing objective analysis of Michigan issues. The goal of all Center reports, commentaries and educational programs is to equip Michigan citizens and other decision makers to better evaluate policy options. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is broadening the debate on issues that have for many years been dominated by the belief that government intervention should be the standard solution. Center publications and programs, in contrast, offer an integrated and comprehensive approach that considers: All Institutions. The Center examines the important role of voluntary associations, communities, businesses and families, as well as government. All People. Mackinac Center research recognizes the diversity of Michigan citizens and treats them as individuals with unique backgrounds, circumstances and goals. All Disciplines. Center research incorporates the best understanding of economics, science, law, psychology, history and morality, moving beyond mechanical cost‑benefit analysis. All Times.

The Center enjoys the support of foundations, individuals and businesses that share a concern for Michigan’s future and recognize the important role of sound ideas. The Center is a nonprofit, tax‑exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

  • Resolution #1 CUPE NATIONAL WILL
    Resolution #1 CUPE NATIONAL WILL: Amend Article 11 of the National Strike Fund regulations to allow for all Local Unions to be entitled to claim assistance from the Strike Fund for up to 100% of the Local Union’s share of the cost of the arbitrator or chairperson of a board of arbitration and up to 90% of the cost of representation before such arbitrator or board. Assistance regarding arbitration costs will no longer be limited to Local Unions which are “prohibited by legislation from striking.” ​ BECAUSE: ● The arbitration process can place a significant financial burden on Local Unions, particularly smaller Local Unions. ● Conservative governments are increasingly willing to use charter-violating legislation to force workers into arbitration and thus subjected to sizeable legal fees. Submitted by Local 3903 ____________________ Maija Duncan Chairperson _____________________ Gizem Çakmak Recording Secretary Resolution #2 CUPE NATIONAL WILL: Amend Article 5 of the National Strike Fund regulations to ensure that Local Union members ​ can receive strike pay when they are not holding a current contact or on active payroll, but have paid dues within the past 12 months. BECAUSE: ● The National Strike Fund regulations must reflect the reality of contractual and precarious workers within unionized workplaces. ● Particularly within the post-secondary sector, workers hold contracts for specific terms with the reasonable expectation that they will receive work again within the next academic year. ● A worker should not be prevented from performing strike activities and showing solidarity with their fellow workers merely because they do not have an active contract at the time of a strike or lockout.

  • Local Officers' Resource Manual
    Dear Colleagues: Congratulations on your election. You take office at one of the most critical moments in the history of our country and union. This moment calls for bold leadership as our union responds to three intersecting crises. We are living in an era of extreme economic inequality and Corporate Power. We have seen the largest redistribution of wealth in our nation’s history and the lowest unionized workforce in decades. In 2020 we also faced the threat, destruction, and tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amidst the devastation of COVID-19, we have found ourselves confronting the plague of racism in America, which has been rampaging in our communities since long before the pandemic. I have been proud of the actions our union has taken to dismantle anti-Black racism and we have so much more work to do. I know that together we are up to the task of confronting these challenges. We can continue building our union’s power through new organizing, bargaining strong contracts, and building independent political power behind a working class agenda. As unprecedented as the COVID-19 pandemic is, CWAers have been on the front lines every day, keeping people informed, connected, and safe during this difficult time. And if we are to make progress in tearing down racism in this country and in our union, we must listen to the experiences of Black CWA members and all Black workers. Every white union member, Black union member, Latino union member, and every ally must fight and organize for Black lives. Unions have a duty to fight for power, dignity and the right to live for every working-class person in every place.

  • The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges
    The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges Stefan Schmalz, Friedrich Schiller University, Germany Carmen Ludwig, Justus Liebig University, Germany Edward Webster, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa Introduction Instead of dismissing labour as a product of the past, the study of labour has been revitalised over the past two decades by approaches that emphasise the ability of organised labour to act strategically. This new branch of research on trade union renewal has challenged the discourse of a general decline of organised labour, focusing instead on innovative organising strategies, new forms of participation and campaigning in both the Global North and the Global South (Turner, Katz and Hurd, 2001; Clawson, 2003; Milkman, 2006; Agarwala, 2013; Murray, 2017). The focus of these studies has not been the institutional setting of labour relations or the overall impact of major trends like globalisation on labour, but rather the strategic choice in responding to new challenges and changing contexts. In the discussion on trade union renewal, the power resources approach (PRA) has emerged as a research heuristic. The PRA is founded on the basic premise that organised labour can successfully defend its interests by collective mobilisation of power resources. This idea has significantly shaped the way scholars are dealing with the issue of union revitalisation and labour conflict, as studies from different world regions have examined union renewal as a process of utilising existing power resources while attempting to develop new ones (Von Holdt and Webster, 2008; Chun, 2009; Dörre, 2010a; McCallum, 2013; Julian, 2014; Melleiro and Steinhilber, 2016; Lehndorff, Dribbusch and Schulten, 2017; Ludwig and Webster, 2017; Xu and Schmalz, 2017).

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is a Union? A Union is a group of employees who join together within a company to bargain collectively for better wages, stronger benefits and safer working conditions. 2. What do Unions do? A Union’s primary objective is to secure good contracts for its members and to enforce the provisions of that contract. The Union also administers some of the contract’s important benefits directly. Often these may include health plans, pensions and labor/management partnerships and trusts. 3. If I sign a Union Card. Do I have to vote yes? The Teamsters are committed to organize workers who want Teamster representation. Organizing is not about signing cards or even holding a vote. It’s about gaining a voice over the terms and conditions of your employment. This is accomplished through legal and binding collective bargaining agreement or contract. Remember cards don’t vote. When the NLRB conducts an election, it’s a secret ballot election just like when you vote for the President. No one will ever know how you voted, unless YOU tell them. 4. What does it mean to be a Teamster? Being a Teamster member means that you belong to the strongest and most democratic labor union in the world. For more than 100 years the Teamsters Union has been a leader in setting the standard for higher wages, better benefits and improved working conditions for workers throughout the United States and Canada. The Teamsters Union is strong because of the participation of many of its 1.4 million members.
