What kind of say do I get in a contract?
Before contract negotiations start, the bargaining unit employees decide what they would like to have in their contract. This is done by surveys, information collected during the organizing process and meetings. The issues are reduced to writing on proposal forms, filled out by bargaining unit members. Once the contract is negotiated, only you and your co-workers get to vote whether to accept the terms and conditions or reject it by a secret ballot vote.
