Under federal labor law governing the private sector, when a union hierarchy has been granted monopoly bargaining authority, it is illegal for any present or future employees \u2013 whether they are members of the union or not \u2013 to negotiate with their employer for themselves unless they can prove that the union hierarchy does not retain majority support.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA clear majority of the employees at the Talon Court facility in Kentwood have now expressed their intent to remove the UAW. National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys have also sent a letter to JCIM management demanding that it cease further contract negotiations and also withdraw recognition of what is now a minority union at Talon Court. Under the law, recognizing and negotiating with a union that does not have majority support is an unfair labor practice.\n<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"\/en\/press\/2009\/01\/uaw-tries-block-employee-election-to-decert-01132009\">Continue reading this news release&#8230;<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UAW Tries to Block Employee Election to Toss Out Union at JCIM Grand Rapids Meanwhile, UAW operatives work to pressure employees at Holland JCIM plant into union ranks Grand Rapids, MI (January 13, 2009) \u2014 A majority of Johnson Controls (JCIM) employees at the Talon Court facility in Kentwood have filed a decertification petition seeking [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[888],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
