After comparing 71 recognition cards to the company's list of 99 employees the American Arbitration Association certified the retail sales unit in Missouri. This unit is composed of 21 stores in 6 different cities.
This work could not have been accomplished without the cooperative efforts of six locals and their organizers.
Working in Kansas City from Local 6325 were Anetra Session, Jaunita Lizotte, Lisa Millican and Cynthia Marshal. In St. Louis from Local 6320 were Kevin Kujawa, Sonja Gholsten-Byrd, Tia Bowling, Dave Hoyt, Tony Franks, Deon Grooters and Jim Henderson.
The Cape Girardeau location had only one store but Local 6316 organizers Kara Hutchason and Meredith Elfrink were able to sign up all of the sales associates.
Bryant Liddle, preisdent of Local 6314, was able to bring in half of the workers at the Columbia, MO location. While Steve Wood of Local 6313 brought in more than 75% of those working in the Joplin, MO store.
The most amazing success came from Local 6312 where President Jim Billedo and Carl Carter signed up 22 of the 23 workers at 4 locations in Springfield, MO. Jim faced some tough management interference at one location where he camped outside until he met with every sales associate.
