A recognition strike is an industrial strike implemented in order to force a particular employer or industry to recognize a trade union as the legitimate collective bargaining agent for a company’s workers. Section 8(b)(7)(C) limits recognitional picketing to a reasonable period of time not to exceed 30 days, unless an election petition is filed before that period expires. I had a tier 1 auto supplier client a few years ago who was met by the UAW with a petition to recognize them as the bargaining unit for their employees. They heard rumors the day before that the union was going to visit the facilities and meet with the management team, this suppressed the owners because they never knew of any union activity at their company and had no ULP’s. They had big contracts with several automakers with “just in time” delivery services. I advised my client what to do and say if they were met by the union, the workers immediately walked off the job onto a picket line after management refused their petition that 80 + percent of their workers signed. They almost lost their contracts, lost close to two million dollars, very high turnover with temporary replacement workers but were successful in keeping the union out. The unions message was recognize us or we will shut you down.

Very basic questions and answers from a union organizer on an introductory 101 level but regardless an Interesting read. I have never heard of this organization before but It appears that their vision statement is to bring social and labor movement’s together for a united front. This is nothing new, labor strategists have been trying to cement coalition’s between the movements for decades, but has gained ground during this pandemic and economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Even through this organization doesn’t appear to be very sophisticated, and it has existed for some years, it is worth repeating that there is some growing collaborations between social and labor organizations created out of our present multiple crises. Their “about us” statement reads “ReproJobs believes in the radical possibility that organizations within the reproductive health, rights, and justice movements can lead the progressive movement by providing healthy, supportive, and empowering workplace environments that include inclusive cultures, generous policies, and thriving wages.”
