congratulation my future Brothers and Sisters for this New Website.
this is going to be a great tool for you guys at Conway to connect and educate others from others yards.
Now you can share what's happening in other yards, so other can see the sinister of management terrorizing the employees, wrongfully terminating employees.
My name is Tito Ayala from UPS freight, if there anything I can do, please feel free to ask, alot of Conway drivers know me and they can get in touch with me.
By the way I was an Ex-CF driver, and I know how manager of CNF handle their employees, like shit.
They mis-treat you and fired your brothers, and then they have the nerves to tell you don't need a Union, then they ask you what Guaratee's will you have with the Teamsters.
You don't have a secured job with the company policy, you are at will, company policy changes when corporate wants to enforce their Rules
With a union contract you are secured, and nothing can be change without members approval and votes.
i like this fucking guy tito, thank you bro, help us oganize con-way, because i see it coming and everybody starting to stand up now.
let me say tito you are a lucky guy to have a union contract!!
What about the service centers?Mechanics?Would this be unionized also?
