In the near future, many of you at our facility will have the opportunity to vote in an in-person secret ballot election to determine whether, as a group, you wish to be represented by The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 696. We hope to address many of your questions here.

Our advice to voters is simple: please do your own research and ask tough questions to both the union and the company. We are approaching the possibility of The Teamsters at Bert Nash Center with an open mind. We want every voter to make an informed decision. You deserve to understand the full set of facts and law before you cast your vote.

Union organizers are permitted by law to make broad claims about what they might be able to accomplish on your behalf. They are not required to support these claims with evidence or facts. Conversely, Bert Nash managers/supervisors are not permitted to make any promises about what they may or may not do if you vote YES or NO for IBT Local 696. While we are limited in what we are allowed to say, we can assure you that transitioning from a non-union to a union environment has a significant impact on any organization. This would be especially true at Bert Nash Center. The decision to support a union is a personal one. Please vote and have your voice heard.

We hope this site is helpful to you as you consider the decision to unionize or not. The site will be updated frequently with new information, so please check back regularly.
