Sample Letter for Announcement of Strike
Subject: Urgent Announcement: Employee Strike Notice in New Hampshire Dear [Company/Organization] Team, We regret to inform you that due to several unresolved issues and the company's failure to address our concerns, the employees of [Company/Organization] in New Hampshire will be commencing a strike effective [strike start date]. This decision was not made lightly, and it comes after thorough deliberation and attempts to engage in constructive dialogue. Unfortunately, our sincere efforts to negotiate a fair resolution have been met with disregard, thereby leaving us with no alternative but to exercise our right to strike. Primary Issues: 1. Unfair wages: Despite our consistent hard work and dedication, the compensation fails to meet industry standards, leaving us struggling to meet our basic needs and maintain a reasonable standard of living. 2. Lack of benefits: The absence of comprehensive healthcare coverage, inadequate maternity/paternity leave policies, and little to no retirement provisions have put us at a disadvantage, jeopardizing our overall well-being and future security. 3. Disregard for employee safety: The company's failure to provide proper safety measures and equipment places our physical health and lives at significant risk. 4. Unfavorable working conditions: The absence of employee support systems, excessive workloads, and unrealistic deadlines result in constant stress, affecting both our mental and physical health. These fundamental issues remain unaddressed, and despite repeated attempts to engage in negotiations, the company has shown reluctance to acknowledge our concerns or seek a resolution. We understand that a strike may cause temporary disruptions, but we believe it is an essential step toward achieving fairness and justice in our working environment. We are confident that by taking collective action, we can compel the company to reevaluate its stance and engage in meaningful discussions aimed at resolving the aforementioned issues. During the strike, we kindly request the following: 1. Respect for our decision: We request that the company respect our democratic right to engage in a peaceful strike as recognized by the labor laws of New Hampshire. 2. Suspension of disciplinary actions: We request a temporary suspension of any disciplinary actions against striking employees during this period. 3. Open dialogue: We encourage the company to engage in honest and sincere negotiations to address our concerns and develop a mutually beneficial solution. 4. Employee support: We urge fellow employees who are not participating in the strike to support our cause through understanding, empathy, and solidarity. We hope that with this announcement, the company recognizes the seriousness of our concerns and takes immediate steps to initiate constructive negotiations. Our goal is not to harm the company but to foster a productive and fair work environment that benefits both the employees and the organization as a whole. We remain open to dialogue and are willing to meet with company representatives to discuss a potential resolution. Should the company choose not to address our demands or make significant progress in negotiating a fair settlement, we will continue with the strike until our grievances are adequately resolved. We count on the understanding and support of our fellow employees, the labor community, and the people of New Hampshire during this challenging time. Together, we strive to establish fairness, respect, and improved working conditions that will benefit everyone involved. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee/Union Position] [Contact Information: Phone number, email]
