Many of you witnessed first hand the great lengths Foxwoods Management went to in an effort to convince the dealers not to join the UAW. They will do the same thing with you. Without a union, Foxwoods has all of the power, and they want to keep it that way.
In order to convince you that you do not need a union, Foxwoods management may do one or more of the following:
-
They will try to offer you gifts like free food, parties, and maybe even unexpected increases in wages and benefits.
-
They will use stall tactics, like the ones they are currently using with the dealers, to try to drag out the start of negotiations.
-
They will divide you, based on race, gender, ethnicity, or job classification. They do this to create a tense workplace where you will begin to fear unionization.
-
They will force your supervisors to threaten and intimidate you.
-
They will ask you to participate in one on one meetings to ask you how you feel about the union, and persuade you to not sign a union card or to vote against the union.
-
They will require you to attend anti-union group meetings on work time.
