Jose Mercury News<BR><BR>Union vote postponed at San Rafael Guide Dogs for the
Blind<BR><BR>By Jennifer Upshaw Swartz<BR>Marin Independent Journal<BR>Posted:

RAFAEL — Bay Area union organizers will have to wait when it comes to <BR>their
bid to organize workers at Guide Dogs for the Blind, the San
<BR>Rafael-based<BR>educational center for the visually impaired.<BR><BR>Last
month, the National Labor Relations Board indefinitely postponed an
<BR>organizing vote set for March 26 among the organization'<WBR>s 47
instructors and <BR>others<BR>in the training department after Guide Dogs
officials sought to expand the <BR>pool of those eligible to vote to 98. Guide
Dogs employs 286 people, <BR>including<BR>workers at its campus in Oregon. Of
those, 208 work in San Rafael.<BR><BR>Managers at the nonprofit organization say
they are following the law, but <BR>organizers and pro-union employees say they
are trying to bust a union that <BR>hasn't<BR>even been formed yet.<BR><BR>"We
have no legal right nor would we try to stop an election," said Nancy
<BR>Gardner, president and CEO of Guide Dogs. "We felt everyone impacted should
<BR>have<BR>a voice.<BR><BR>"We would prefer to be nonunion. We have not engaged
in any union-busting <BR>tactics," she said. "We are honoring the law and
following the NLRB. We <BR>think<BR>we can resolve these issues without having a
third party come in and it <BR>would be much more instructive.<WBR>"<BR><BR>Bill
Klinke, an organizer with the Office and Professional Employees
<BR>International Union Local 29, said workers "feel the employer wasn't
<BR>addressing their<BR>issues. It's very frustrating. It's frustrating to the
supporters. Over 70 <BR>percent signed cards. I think they<BR>should have been
recognized at that point.<BR><BR>"It would be good if there was a election
scheduled immediately,<WBR>" Klinke <BR>said. No date has been set by the NLRB,
he said.<BR><BR>Employee grievances include working without breaks, reductions
in pay and <BR>benefits and a high number of workplace injuries.<BR><BR>Union
officials and the organization agree that employees in the training
<BR>department in San Rafael have suffered a number of injuries, such as
<BR>shoulder<BR>pulls and walking into stationary objects while blindfolded.
There were six <BR>reportable injuries in the training department in 2009, the
organization <BR>said.<BR>Union officials place the number closer to 10 in the
past 12 months, saying <BR>several were career-ending and six required
surgery.<BR><BR>Both camps agree that strides have been made to improve the
situation with <BR>the addition of personal trainers and wellness activities.
The addition of <BR>safety<BR>gear also is being investigated, Guide Dogs
officials said.<BR><BR>Officials, who said they have reimbursed workers for lost
pay and paid <BR>penalties, said they are cracking down on breaks by insisting
employees take <BR>them<BR>unless there is an emergency.<BR><BR>Pay and benefits
decreases are a result of a poor economy, Guide Dogs <BR>officials noted. In the
past year, workers earning more than $75,000 per <BR>year were<BR>asked to take
a 2 percent pay cut; those under $75,000 took a 1 percent cut. <BR>Employer
matching retirement benefits have been reduced from 6 to 4 percent.<BR><BR>The
money Guide Dogs uses to fund its operations and keep the education free <BR>for
students has taken a hit, officials said. Its operating reserve, which<BR>is
roughly 44 percent of its annual funding, peaked at $342 million in 2008 <BR>and
declined to $197 million in 2009. At the end of year, for spending
<BR>purposes,<BR>the balance was $225 million, or 34 percent below the high. The
balance is <BR>now $260 million, officials said. The organization anticipates an
additional<BR>$1.5 million decline in operating reserve-based funding for fiscal
2012, <BR>officials said.<BR><BR>"We just did compensation review. We pay at a
higher rate than other schools <BR>or similar situations. We're pretty
comfortable with that," Gardner said. <BR>Cutting<BR>back "was, I think, hard
for staff. They've never had to deal with pay cuts <BR>so I think it was a
shock." The process has been disappointing, but spirits<BR>among the rank and
file remain high, organizers said.<BR><BR>Shawna Whooley of San Rafael, 27, an
instructor at Guide Dogs, said <BR>improvements have been made at the
organization, but unionizing, she <BR>believes, will<BR>ensure such momentum
continues.<BR><BR>"It's moving in the right direction," she said. "We're hopeful
that by <BR>unionizing and organizing that the changes that are happening for
the better <BR>are<BR>changes that stick around." San Rafael resident Heather
Foster, 36, an <BR>instructor for about seven years, works with Whooley on the
organizing <BR>committee<BR>at Guide Dogs. She said management's reaction to the
process is unfortunate, <BR>but employees seeking to organize believe a vote
eventually will take place.<BR><BR>"Of course we are disappointed with the
appeal; however, we are feeling <BR>pretty optimistic that we are going to get
to have the vote," she said. <BR>"We're just<BR>trying to stay as positive as we
can."<BR>Copyright ©2010 - San Jose Mercury News<BR><BR>found at:<BR><A
