I want to say "thank you" to you, and all the IBEW 1269 members who had a hand in the successful resolution to my wrongful termination in 2016 by YP...

I wanted to say “thank you” to you, and all the IBEW 1269 members who had a hand in the successful resolution to my wrongful termination in 2016 by YP. My words can never convey my sincerest and deepest gratitude for ALL you’ve done for me personally. You made a huge difference in my life and that means alot, we will forever be brothers and sisters in arms!

You made right what was wrong and set me on a path to continued success in my sales career. It really was a life changing day to receive that call from you personally Karen, to let me know you and your team had  achieved a successful outcome for me! I was elated to hear I would be offered my position back with YP/Dex and full back pay!

You’re tenacity, determination and tireless dedication to IBEW 1269 and the protection of workers rights, contract adhesion, contract negotiations, grievances & arbitration, and setting the record straight is truly awesome (not to mention the 1 million other details you manage on a daily basis)!

You’re efforts and your successes are nothing less than heroic! You made a huge difference in my career with YP and then again, when I needed you most, you came through, just like you promised you would! I will always remember the morning after I was wrongfully terminated you personally called me to let me know “this would not stand” and you asked me to be patient and allow you do to what you do best……fight back!!! And fight you did…..and YOU WON!

You’re bad ass Karen Gowdy! and I have the upmost respect and admiration for you and ALL you do, all you did and  all that you will do for the current and future members of IBEW1269.

My deepest gratitude and sincerest THANK YOU for your hard work, determination, dedication on my behalf, and to a successful outcome for ALL of IBEW 1269.

Thank you for your representation...

Dear Karen and Harry,

Thank you for the excellent representation of my unlawful termination case.

I am very grateful to IBEW union staff and attorney for all the hard work  it took in preparing me for my hearing and making sure I was able to win my position back as a Premise Account Manager.

I understand how heightened emotions and losing ones position can affect a sales person’s life!

The union has been standing on my side since I started my first position in 2000.

I want our IBEW members to know how strong and effective all the stewards and business managers are in the fight for justice for our bargained for employment.

I am grateful to our union and I feel totally vindicated with the excellent effort and time it took to win my case. Please know that you have the best advocates working on our behalf at IBEW Union.

Thank you again Karen and Harry and all IBEW Union staff.

Sincerely,

- IBEW1269 Member

So proud of the courageous BuzzFeed Employees who are fighting for their Union and their rights!

Honor 

Why Be Part of a Union?

Union workers continue to receive higher wages and more rights than non-union workers and have greater access to most employer-sponsored employee benefits. Union workers have access to the grievance and arbitration process when wrongfully terminated and are protected by the law when engaging in protective concerted activity.

Union workers also have the ability to vote on their collective bargaining agreement and have more control over their working conditions than their non-union counterparts.

 

Earnings

Union – Wages, Commissions, Bonus, Medical Benefits, 401k, Vacation, are all negotiated and contractual to ensure fairness for everyone.

Non-Union – Management alone decides the terms of earnings and can change them anytime. They can base any changes in earnings on business needs, favoritism or any other reason.

Medical Benefits

Union – Medical Benefits are bargained and contractual. Changes can only be made through Union membership approval.  Medical coverage for you and your family is protected and ensured.

Non-Union – Without a Union, medical Benefits can be altered, reduced, or completely taken away at any point. The employer has complete control over the medical coverage for you and your family.

Unfair Treatment & Job Protection

Union – You have a protected way to challenge any unfair or questionable treatment with support and representation from their union. Just Cause standards are applied with binding arbitration if the parties can’t agree.

Non-Union – You’re on your own. Any grievance process gives management the last word.

“Unions are the collective voice by which justice happens and power shifts. Our union believes that by standing together, we're more powerful than standing alone and that dignity in the workplace is a right worth fighting for.”
