More than 70 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "If I were a worker in a factory, the first thing I would do would be to join a union. I think this holds true today. Studies show that if a certification vote was held in every work place across North America, and neither the union or the company could have any influence, 30% of the workers would vote for representation. We as union have laid some solid ground work and it is the employer that has the up hill battle to defeat the workers.
