I do not support Wins. Personally, I hope for it's impending failure. We need to get policy published about protocol inregards to elections. I hope that I hear a knucklhead from Wins spewing their garbage during work hours. I will push for disciplinary actions.

I had a rep at my house a 6 on a Saturday. He was totally blown away by my indignation??? He could not understand why I did not want to have a "civil" discussion. I reminded him he came to my house! For every claim he had I had the facts for which he could not respond. They hit 2 other guys in my office as well. One gal showed up in a short skirt, high heels and walked right out into my co-worker's yard to pester him. His wife was a bit taken back by who was out there talking to her husband! Remember people that they are infringing upon you, your private time and you do not need to be nice, tell them to get lost! Lou,

NOT the majority of members eligible. Conversely to get the union in Colorado it only took a majority of Votes recieved but not a majority of employees eligible to vote!!!! Also, if unions are so great why is it that when a strike does occur the only ones who don't miss a paycheck are the UNION BOSSES????

I would like to know how they got my personal home address. It would be one thing to have something like that delivered to work but the fact that our HR is giving out our personal private information is what really makes me angry. How do we resolve this? Is the state selling the employee list with our home addresses to anyone else? We should be able to opt out of having our private information given to any organization without our approval. What state Senators or representatives can we contact? Three other Colorado Employees that I know that never joined the union also got their membership and magazine in the mail.
