COUNT ME IN RALLY AT UNION SQUARE IN MANHATTAN ON MAY 8, 2018
LOCAL 12 BUSINESS MANAGER JOHN JOVIC SPEAKS AT THE COUNT ME IN RALLY ON MAY 8, 2018
Unionization: It's Never Been Easy
Almost all current union members were hired into an already represented workplace. But while you personally may have played no role in unionizing your place of work, you can’t assume that those who did had an easy time of it. In the early decades of union organizing in the U.S., it was not unusual for employers to respond to union organizing drives with physical violence. Many of the early industrial unions got their footholds only by standing up to a court system that jailed union supporters, and to the clubs and guns of company thugs. Sometimes the bullets that maimed and killed union supporters and their families were fired by state militias or federal troops, serving as private armies for anti-union employers. Once the union comes in, one battle may be over but the war is far from won. In about one third of newly organized workplaces, using stall and delay tactics, the employer succeeds in preventing the union from ever winning a first contract.

What is Mechanical Insulation? Mechanical insulation, also known as the “forgotten technology”, is thermal insulation used on piping, equipment, and all types of mechanical systems, including boilers, HVAC systems, and ducts. Mechanical insulation serves the following functions:
- Conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Regulate the temperature of process systems
- Condensation control and mold prevention
- Personnel protection from hot or cold surfaces
