CTA Workers Can Strike!
- There is a no-strike clause in the Contract.
- We cannot strike because only an arbitrator can make decisions for us.
- We will all get fired if we strike.
Am I calling for a strike?
Absolutely not.
I am calling for members to learn the Truth, organize and liberate ATU Local 308 (and Local 241) from CTA control.
Then decide what actions you want to back your demands.
I remember seeing something in the ATU Constitution with a rule that says something like, “No wildcat strikes.” Is this what the 308 officials are trying to appeal to when they say we have a no-strike clause? A strike is a strike is a strike. If union members are calling for a strike, and union members then go on strike, there’s no wildcats about it.
ReplyDeleteThere is no mention in the ATU Constitution about "wildcat". In order to receive strike funds, the ATU International needs to approve the strike. See Section 19 and 20. The CTA General Rulebook says "No wildcat."
