No Future at Conway


There are currently plans in place at Conway that they are set to implement within the next few years. Those plans include the complete elimination of line haul runs. They plan on using contractors to run the freight. Furthermore, they plan on doing away with full-time employees and moving to a part-time and temp workforce. The purpose of that being a reduction in pay and abolishment of health benefits. It looks like Conway is dead set on doing this and they will do this. The only way to avoid this is to organize a union. These kind of drastic change of operations doesn't  happen at ABF, YRC, or UPS. Their work is legally protected by their UNION contracts. If we hope to have any kind of future here at Conway it's time we get our own contract.

Over at conway freight ula service center there is a supervisor named Albert c, who is going around asking people about the union. Be carefull about what you say to him. There is also a fac fom who does not know how to manage and has a part time dock worker running fac, how much worse can it get.

write down the name of those supervisors or any personal in management asking questions or making threats to any employee for trying to form a union.it is against the law to intimidate employees who are seeking union representation.report any violation to the national labor ralations board. at ulx there is a manager and personal supervisor violating labor rights.

Over at Conway Ulx terminal manager paul styers and personnel supervisor rick licon are going around asking employees who are the people that are pushing the union movement. It's a clear violation of labor law. These two people are not doing a good job of disguising their illegal actions.

I've Talked to a FedEx freight driver and he said that somewhere on the east coast the close a terminal causes they voted for the union and the company close the terminal since they can't close it for union facts cause its against the law they closed for others reasons and spread ppl around other terminals if that happened here at ULA all the big strappers are going to hate it cause other ppl from other terminal will take their spots caused it will go based on hired dates so to all the big strappers help your self cause the company will not help you

Lost SCM a FOS and two account executives in the past month at XLX because of all the BS We need a change but don't know how to start

Some of the guys that were pro union at ula are starting to change their minds. They claim too much talk not enough action. At least 10 I've talked to. They claim they will just ride it out, nobody is informing them of what was going on.

joe said...

If they're not informed that's because they're scared to go to meeting or talked to their coworker. The sooner we get most of the cards sign the faster we'll get it done, don't forget conway's management will lie and scared uninformed employees saying how bad unions are.those guys changing thier mind let them change their mind and wait till conway drop our dock pay and working 6 to 8 hours a day.

Those of you who are still reading this and are still afraid of what might not happen if this doesn't go through, need to just grow a pair and do something! Here is your chance. Everyone is always complaining that they are tired of the way things have been and are only getting worse. You just need to man up and think about your future and family. You need to look out for yourself, because everything now is preventable, Conway doesn't care about you. Remember we're all replaceable . Come to a meeting, and get properly informed make time to better your future. Stop making excuses

LSX supervisors are treating ALL DSR's with no respect. They do not care whether you run out of hours

Ask why they are changing, they just look at ya and say oh well.

We do need help in LSX.

Grow a pair then! We tried several years ago. Between the girly men and lack of union support it went nowhere. Looks like the union is on board finally. Now man up.
