Yep, we lost this one. The laws in the United States are so weighted against the workers right to organize that it is very hard to win the first time out. You only have about a 30% chance of winning. This is because they can use paid union busters, captive audience meetings and don't have to provide you a list of employees until two weeks out from the election. So you are left with trying to surmise who works there, then figuring out first and last name, then deducing where they live, etc. But we have a solid core of supporters and I prepared them to be ready to have to do this several times. By the third attempt you have a pretty good shot, but I believe we will get this one on the second go round. The employer made too many promises that they will not keep. Never do.

Beebs, get the house a round, and join me in a toast to those that perservere. Good folks, solid committee with the courage of their convictions. Slainte.
