All spin & no facts!
The company does not have to permit the candidate access within the worksite itself, unless of course you're the Company candidate of choice, aka. Jr. Hoffa. Since UPS allowed Mr. Hoffa access, they in turn had to allow The Leedham campaign, or any other candidate the same.
Mr. Ironshot, for someone like yourself that has boasted of being non-union/anti-union, pehaps you should find a topic or website more suitable to your taste. Unless of course you enjoy spreading hate and discontent.
ELECTION SUPERVISOR’S REPORT
CONVENTION DELEGATE NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS ARE HAPPENING NOW
NEW RULE REQUIRES IBT GENERAL PRESIDENT CANDIDATE FORUM
RULES BOOKLETS AVAILABLE NOW
Delegate candidates are conducting campaigns
now, and campaigning will continue through at
least April 30, 2006 when the election period
ends. All union members have the right to campaign
actively for delegate and alternate delegate
candidates and candidates for IBT international
office, without fear of reprisal or retaliation. Basically,
the Rules protect the rights of candidates
and their supporters to distribute information,
and the rights of members to receive campaign
information. The Rules provide candidates with
the right to distribute campaign material using
the local union mailing list (at the candidate’s
expense), to display literature on tables or bulletin
boards at local union meeting halls, to get
information about collective bargaining agreements
and worksite locations, and to campaign in
employer parking lots. Read Art. VII of the 2006
Rules for a description of the political and campaigning
rights of members and candidates. Violation
of candidate or member rights protected by
the Rules can be protested, and may subject the violator
to sanctions.
