All,
Attached are 13 “testimonials” by UUP members on why the union is important to them. We hope you will consider publishing these on your chapter websites and in your newsletters (or make them available for chapter events, etc.) … even if these folks are not members of your chapter. Remember, their messages may resonate with fee payers. Use them one at a time or a couple at once; it’s up to you!
Also, we urge you to go to http://uupinfo.org/defendunion/union.php to get all kinds of “membership drive” materials for use in getting your colleagues to sign union cards. The link is available from the home page; look under Take Action for “Defending Our Union! – Friedrichs resources.” There are videos, fliers, fact sheets, palm cards, and social media and other resources to help convince bargaining unit members to join UUP. And remember to check back often; we are constantly adding to this site.
As always, feel free to contact UUP Communications with questions, ideas or comments. We look forward to hearing from you!
in solidarity,
karen mattison
