A supermajority of @splcenter staff signed union authorization cards and filed an election petition with the NLRB. We asked leadership to voluntarily recognize #splcunion. Instead, they hired a "union avoidance" law firm. [THREAD]

"The Center cannot truly claim to support workers' rights, while also hiring a 'union avoidance' law firm to prevent its own workers from exercising our right to collective bargaining.” -#SPLCUnion Organizing Committee

Leadership is being advised by Amber M. Rogers, who specializes in decertification elections and "union avoidance strategies."

In their own words: "#HuntonAndrewsKurth has a successful track record of advising companies and trade groups facing the threat of corporate campaign attacks. ...We have successfully used litigation strategies to bring these campaigns to a halt."
"Our client base includes companies that do not have unions and strongly desire to remain union-free, as well as companies that have historical relationships with organized labor." -#HuntonAndrewsKurth

#SPLCUnion #UnionizeTheDeepSouth
"We have represented many companies in connection with wildcat strikes, union-sanctioned work stoppages & picketing activity. This includes picketing at primary sites as well as picketing ... at secondary locations where the object is to put pressure on customers of the client."
#HuntonAndrewsKurth's experience includes RICO cases against labor unions at a Fortune 100 company and an international food service client with over 200,000 employees.

The firm has helped quash union efforts of workers across industries, from electric workers to bartenders to manufacturers.

#UnionizeTheDeepSouth #OrganizeTheDeepSouth #UnionStrong #SPLCUnion
A supermajority of @splcenter staff across all eligible departments and offices are seeking union representation. We will not be intimidated by SPLC leadership or its “union avoidance” law firm. We will see our #SPLCUnion drive successfully through an election, if necessary.

THREAD: We need your help, y'all. You probably saw Provost Feser's email Monday announcing salary increase program. While the he attempted to positively frame his proposal, it's an insidious attempt to undermine bargaining efforts and the core mission of our #union. Here's why:
The Provost's "salary increase program" was initially presented as a MOA (memorandum of understanding) at the very end of the bargaining session on Monday, leaving no opportunity to negotiate, ask questions, or respond. What's more? We only were given 3 days to accept or reject.
In the e-mail to faculty he presented an implied ultimatum to #union members. Either accept an ambiguous and inequitable salary increase and forego all bargaining for FY2020 salary increases (more on that next), or continue bargaining.

Some thoughts on leadership. Early in my career I worked with some great guys like @PahDoh @killchain. We used to joke about the ‘employee recognition program’ - normally when you passed the senior leader in the hallway he would barely look at you.
2/ At some point he would look at you and grunt as you passed. The grunt meant you were now recognized. Thus, the employee recognition program was born!
3/ Experiences like that taught me a lot about leadership (eg what NOT to do). Here are some practices I use to stay engaged with the team and reinforce a culture of servant leadership.

5am thoughts: One of the challenges for men in #leadership positions in #tech who want to increase #inclusion and #diversity in our orgs, is that first we need to first recognize our own #privilege before knowing what conscious actions to take in our orgs & company-wide... 1/14
First, credit to my colleague @bjohnso5y. Her post on how to be a better #ally for #womenintech emphasized the mechanism of #recognition (e.g. crediting women for their ideas in public spaces). The goal of better #allyship inspired this thread... 2/14

In the sphere of political debate, you’ll often hear white people (especially men) arguing they don’t have privilege and don’t get special treatment. "Everything’s a meritocracy!" "Nobody 'gave' me anything!" - Nothing to see here, move along… 3/14

Another crooked #Union boss was arrested.

Glenn Blicht, President of the Longshoremen Union Local 1964, was arrested for demanding and taking bribes from an employer in exchange for NOT representing Union employee's interests.

#ButNothingsHappening #UnionCorruption
LOL...and once again, THERE ARE TAPES!
Just as a reminder, and to put them in one place, there have been quite a few busts related to corrupt union bosses and officials. Here's the former VP of the UAW who pleaded guilty to corruption:

#Leadership requires people to stick with you through thick and thin.Leadership is the ability to rally people not for a single event,but for year. In business,leadership means that customers will continue to support your company even when you slip up." #StartWithWhy @simonsinek
"Great leaders, in contrast, are able to inspire people to act. Those who are able to inspire give people a sense of purpose or belonging that has little to do with any external incentive or benefit to be gained." #StartWithWhy by @simonsinek
"After September 11, there were customers who sent checks to Southwest Airlines to show their support. One note that accompanied a check for $1,000 read, “You’ve been so good to me over the years, in these hard times I wanted to say thank you by helping you out.”#StartWithWhy

In trying to repair what's wrong with KE, there are many conversations we need to have. The exiling (not deportation) of Miguna was wrong. It was, however, the actualization of an internal war ODM made against him about 9 years ago.

A thread.
In "Peeling Back the Mask", Miguna talks about that time in January 2010 when PMU came after him on the issue of citizenship. The argument then was pretty much the same as it was the week. First page.
In the second excerpt, he says he finally realised that it had been his colleagues at ODM fighting him all along.

Then mentions the critical case of Mahamud Sirat who filed an election petition for the Wajir South seat in 2008 and found himself exiled to Australia.
