Try it Out for a While…

If an organizer has told you that you can “try out” the union for a little while, then decide later to get rid of it, they probably haven’t also told you how difficult that is.

• The only way to get rid of a union is by a “decertification”
• It’s a long and complicated process that must be initiated and funded by the employees themselves
• Unions typically aggressively fight efforts for decertification– once in, they do not want to be voted out!

Unlike most things you buy, union membership comes with absolutely no guarantee. If it doesn’t work as advertised, there’s nowhere you can go for a refund. You’re probably stuck.
