More Company Lies
Management at the Laredo, TX
terminal is doing anything they can to convince their labor to say no to the
union. Among the list of many ridiculous and illegal lies, they've added a few.
They are saying that if the union comes in they will fire all dock workers
because the union doesn't allow dock only employees. The company has also said
that everyone gets to vote in the election, including temps and as absurd as it
sounds, the cleaning crew. They've also begun to punish dock only temps that
want to be put on "full-time" by not allowing them to get their CDL
once put on and not giving them any benefits. This terminal will be the front
line as we try to unionize this company. Once we get to a vote here, it will
include office, dock, city drivers and line drivers. Temps don't count as they
don't work for the company. Although once unionized there wouldn't be any more
temps. Wages will go up, insurance premiums will go down, stress will go down,
and job security will go up.
