What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I work for the airline industry and have been working for this particular airline for 5 years. Recently, the rank and file have been asking our business rep to authorize an election as they have not had elections in over 10 years. The chief shop steward is in bed with management and does not look out for us at all. The business rep refuses to authorize the election. The rank and file are scared to sign a petition because they have been threatened with retalliation by the shop steward. I, along with a few others, are not scared to take the chief shop steward on. What are our options?
