Right now we do work the largest retailer in the U.S., but many of us have to make sure we stay on the good side of management or others to keep our job. With a union they can't fire you because they don't like you tomorrow. If they try to punish you then you actually have a voice in a couple of ways: 1---"weingarten rights" ( you can have someone of your choice witness your coaching), 2----you can file a "grievanc" to fight the punishment. Currenly, all we have is the "open door", which many have found is closed more than it is open, and our witness to the meeting is usually someone the manager has chosen and normally doesn't stand up for us. So being secure in your job would be a major change. You vote on your contract, so you might see a higher pay, better health benefits, etc.
