Lupe Cruz is too busy trying to convince us to not vote for the union and when asked about our issues all he said is that he doesn't work for the company!
Lupe Cruz is not there for us, he doesn't care anything about us! All he cares about is the money he is going to make, win or lose he will make the same amount of money because Lupe Cruz has a CONTRACT with Conway! Something Conway is fighting tooth and nail not to give us
.
Lupe Cruz's firm last year made $2,740,053.00 !! All that money convincing workers throughout this country not to vote union, not to vote for a better future for their families, not to vote for better health coverage and job security! All the while Lupe Cruz's and his family benefited from his salary of $650,161.00 !!
Lupe Cruz will lie and cheat for us to vote no, he will tell us to that Conway is better without a union while he lines his pockets with money that should have went to us instead of him!
Don't believe what this union busting scum has to say, we have to think about our families and our future!
Lupe Cruz is only worried about winning the fight against the Teamsters, he said that last night. All Lupe Cruz is worried about is looking good for his next client!!
VOTE YES! VOTE YES!

I call all you guys stay strong let's show conway that they are just wasting money on someone that don't care for the company he just want to get pay and get out .arriva la union FTP todos Los lambe huevos.
Union meetings all across nation and management has no idea. Should have invested in drones to watch all our movement
Make sure you are on the clock and talk to them go with it as long as you can tolerate listening to the lies waste as much of their time as your can lol
Conway in a rush to get health assessments done earlier than usual. Probably need to get the numbers in so they can screw the insurance up to offset cost of union busting! KEEP BUSTING THEM BALLS BOYS!!!!!!!XFW
No matter how we view it Greg Lemkuhl goes home to his millions no matter the outcome. When we go home were living check to check and know we have no job security or future for our families financially. Lets vote or keep feeding the greed!!!!!
WHEN THEY TOKE AWAY THE PENSION I TOLD MY MANGER WHY AND I TOLD HIM THAT FEDX FRT HAD A PENSION HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE DEEP POCKETS AND I TOLD HIM WHEN I STARTED AT CON WAY WE HAD ONE AND WE WHERE NOT THAT BIG OFF A COMPANY BUT KNOW THAT WE ARE A BIG COMPANY THEY SAY THEY DONT HAVE MONEY LIERES NOW THAT LAREDO AND CAL HAVE PETITION THEY WANT TO BUY US W RASIES WHY DID U NOT DO IT U THOUTH U COULD GET AWAY WHITH IT CONWAY VOTE YES
Ive always tried to take a shit on overtime but since they don't give city drivers OT I have to do it on straight time. Really sucks. Maybe I can be helped, not sure about my situation. Open to all suggestions
Lol
cruz & assocites and conway don't believe in a Workplace with integrity.
conway management don't understand the reality of the workplace and the perception of its employees.conway's strategies which address employee concerns with integrity and respect is all false,ulx manager paul styers is a good example of integrity.disrespectful buster like styers is the reason conway is dealing with this union organizing.
does anyone know how the class action lawsuit for the lunches is going??
Yeah today good health insurance because the teamsters are in, when danger passes be prepared to lose your good health insurance, and get f...cked in the a..s again, VOTE TEAMSTERS YES.
FEDEX FREIGHT PENSION IS JUST A BUBBLE, IT MEANS IF THEY (FEDEX) DECIDES TO CANCEL PENSION OR NOT GIVE IT TO YOU AT YOUR RETIREMENT THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS, AFTER ALL FEDX DID NOT SIGNED A CONTRACT OF ASSURANCE THAT THIS PENSION WILL BE PAID AT THE END OF YOUR RETIREMENT, WHICH BY THE WAY ITS JUST PENNIES ON THE DOLLARS, BELIEVE ME I KNOW I WORK FOR FEDEX FREIGHT, VOTE UNION YES!!
DOES MS CRUZ LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND? SHE RICH, IM STILL VOTING UNION YES.
cruz's strategy at ula is to discourage us by telling us that the company will not work with us to get a good contract, he states that it will be a fight. Wtf!!! That just goes to show what kind of a piece of shit people run this place. To use that as a strategy. It's like if we were to say fuck you and your damage free freight, load beems lol ok sure boss. You can implant 1million obstacles in my brain for years to come Lupe I'm still going to drop that YES VOTE in there
Those of us who have seat in these special town hall meetings, and listen to the endless lies and be told the union is the monster and to trust Conway's upper management. They know they have made mistakes and now they are listening to the employees and everything is going to change. The truth is they want to stop the union movement to protect their own jobs. You have showed the employees just how much you respect us and value our hard work. Conway's upper management has forgot who makes the money and who is just overhead. It is truly sad that a great company like Conway has in the seven years managed to push their workers to the organize. Reap it. Union YES
Guys do not believe all of this corporate hype. They may come Monday and offer you a pay increase, but it will be taken another way. Use common sense when this takes place. Is this chump change going to change your insurance rates, pension, overtime after 8 hours? Think long and hard guys these corporate people are trying for a temporary fix. I will not vote against the union simply because of all of this crap going on in Conway now. Your never secure at Conway. Their rules in place can rid you at anytime. ALL employees other then ass kissers need to be protected. I will take the increase and still vote YES. Be strong guys we in NRM are with you all the way to the voting booth.
COMO ON DRIVERS, WE NEED THE UNION, WE ARE JUST NUMBERS FOR CONWAY, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT US, THEY JUST THINK FOR THEIR MONEY, IS TIME FOR A CHANGE , CONWAY IS GOING TO GIVE A RAISE, BUT YOU KNOW CONWAY MÁYBE TAKE IT AWAY NEXT MONTH OR NEXT YEAR. SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN, YOU KNOW DRIVER, IM FROM LLA NOTHING IS HAPPENING HERE, WE ARE NOT FIGHTING WITH OTHER DRIVER , WE DIDN'T DA MAGE ANY EMPLOYEE CAR , WE DIDN'T DO NOTHING LIKE THAT CONWAY MANAGEMENT IS SAYING ALL THOSE LIES. GOOD LUCK DRIVERS , WE WAITING YOUR VOTE.
Just a heads up, these so called Attorneys aka UNION BUSTERS said in their meetings with employees that they will be going on Ride Alongs with DSRs. Could be City P&D or even Linehaul. When asked why, they had no reply. CONWAY is trying hard to work the intimidation factor on us. Pointless in them on the Ride along. Be prepared USB, UBY and even UKC on their unnecessary trips. Just look for the typical khakis and polo shirt, or just look for the guys that do not look like a DSR in training. Key is looking at them eye to eye and Show no Fear. They can't F with us. There's a few of them and Hundreds of us. United we Stand!
Let Cruz do his job . He is not gonna change drivers minds no more then this so called raise I gonna change their minds. So glad Conway has all of this money to pay for a union buster but not pass it to their employees.
How to beat the union busters at there own game, when they have ya'll in there captive meeting, fillerbuster there ass do not let up , other drivers step up interuptng your coworker they will appreciate it just keep talking every driver step in , surely enough of ya'll can keep it going for the length of the meeting, making there time useless, they will get pissed but fuck them its our dime lets use it to our advantage, when they start a sentence interrupt , the next driver do the same thing, interrupt your coworker, they want to play politics , play , interrupt, interrupt, talk, talk , talk , do not let them get a word in. Ya'll get on the same page and be ready and pass this strategy on.
Any word on what Conway is gonna throw are way? I here there having a conference call with corporate at all regional service centers on sunday. No matter what they give us it wont last. There trying to hush the union for now and when the smoke clears they'll go right back to there lean culture of humiliating there employees. Be smart its just Lemkuhl trying to save his own ass! Theres no turning back now lets keep pushin. Love seein the lack of arrogance walkin around for once! COCKAROACHES
UNION YES IN USB THATS MY VOTE HOW ABOUT YOURS ??
From MIAMI fl thank you for your feed back LLA DRIVER ALOT OF LIES GOING ON MONDAY MEETING WITH THE LAREDO VOTE... WE ARE STRONG AND WE ARE VOTING FOR UNION REPRESENTATION...
THESE "UNION BUSTERS" TELL MANAGEMENT WHAT TO DO.
Following is a checklist of tactics "union busters" use to try to defeat union campaigns. Use this guide to prepare yourself and your colleagues for what will happen. Keep track by checking off each tactic your Employer and/or its Human Resource Personnel attempt to use to try to DEFEAT YOU !
PRESSURE FROM SUPERVISORS:
Supervisors will be front-line troops against the union delivering letters, informal chats and speeches prepared by the "Union Busters."
LETTERS, LEAFLETS, MEMOS AND MORE MEMOS:
The "Union Busters" will write you many letters and hand out lots of leaflets during the union organizing campaign... only the letters will be signed by upper management, or the Human Resource Personnel - not the Union Busting consultants.
INCREASES IN PAY:
They may tell you, you don’t need a Union to get wage increases, and they were about to increase your pay just prior to the start of the organizing campaign. They may even tell you now that the Union is here they can’t by law give you a raise but would like to give you a dollar raise. DON’T BE FOOLED.
LOVE LETTERS:
In some of the letters, the "union busting" consultants will have management say how much they really appreciate what all of you do for the organization. They might even admit mistakes! They want to convince you that the "boss" is really a good person who can be trusted with your future.
THE UGLY UNION LETTERS:
Most of the letters will paint a pretty ugly picture of the union. Management will want you to think the union is just out for money. They will even refer to the union as a "Third Party." The FACT is, the workers ARE the union - they form the collective voice. The officers will elect their own representatives and will decide what issues they wish to promote and negotiate.
LOVE OFFERINGS:
The "Union Busters" will tell management to give you some unexpected perks (i.e. bonuses, paid lunches, parties, etc...) They want you to believe you don't need a union to get good things and improve security.
LET'S BE PALS:
Management and their RATS will be everywhere. Walking the floors - on every shift. Setting up spur-of-the-moment chats so he/she can find out what's on your mind. "Don't' let a 3rd party come between our wonderful relationship!" BEWARE !
ONE-ON-ONES:
Your supervisors or the Human Resource Department may call you in for face-to-face talks about the union. You have no choice if they insist, however, you do have the right to ask a fellow employee to sit in with you. Also, you do NOT have to divulge your interest in the Union. The supervisor or the Human Resource Department has been told what to say by the "union buster consultants."
DIVIDE AND CONQUER:
They will try to play one group against the other: "Disloyal" union supporters against "loyal pro-employer" union opponents; men vs. women, older vs. younger, day shift vs. night shift, one department against another - whatever works for them.
"VOTE-NO" COMMITTEE:
A small group of employees might be set up to "stand up" for the employer. They want to "save" the organization from the Union. The "Union Buster" is behind this committee and is training the leaders to destroy the union organizing efforts.
CAPTIVE AUDIENCE MEETINGS:
Employees might be required, on paid time, to attend meetings where top management will deliver a speech. It is not an open debate. Remember Don’t be Fooled by Union-Busting Propaganda.
SCARE TACTICS
Management’s biggest weapon is Fear. In the Security Industry beware of threats of Outsourcing your Job Tactics. This is common in every Union Campaign. Remember - presently you are a, AT-WILL – EMPLOYEE with No Rights, No Voice or No Job Security.
You can be FIRED or Replaced by management at anytime ! Don’t be Fooled ! Only by Unionizing, can You Legally Protect you JOB !
U are the UNION and If U want a VOICE to Negotiate Your Wages, Benefits, Job Security and Working Conditions U must Stand Up and Be Heard !
Remember: 99.9 % of union Do NOT charge Initiation Fees as management would like you to believe. Nor do they charge any monthly dues (which union members call Job Security) until the union negotiates on your behalf your written contract and the majority of officers of VOTE to accept its terms and conditions.
In reality no security professional would vote to accept the union contract if they were to receive less. This result is a WIN WIN situation for every security officer professional to gain the wages and benefits you deserve!
What can I do about the union buster's tactics?
Remember, the union buster plays off of an employee's lack of knowledge about a union. Employees can do several things to counter the union buster:
Ask the Company if they have hired a union buster - Ask the employer's representative whether they have hired a "consultant" to work for them to "educate" employees about the union. Ask the employer how much they are paying the consultant. Employers don't want you to know that they have hired someone to interfere with your rights to organize a union, and you will make them nervous if they have to answer this question. Most union busters charge anywhere from $750 to $2,000 per day plus expenses for their services.
Document - Have as many employees as possible document everything that a supervisor or manager says to employees, whether to a group of employees or an individual employee. A union buster will oft times violate the law in what he says about the union.
Ask Questions - If a supervisor makes an implied threat, ask the supervisor or manager point blank what he or she is trying to say. The employer cannot legally make direct threats to employees about union organization.
Ask for the information the union buster presents in writing - Remember, the general, vague information that supervisors and managers are giving you comes directly from the union buster. Ask management for the information that they are presenting to you in writing.
Protect and support each other - If a supervisor is shadowing an employee, band together for support. A union buster can only be effective in creating fear if the employees let him. If employees stand up to the union buster, he cannot be effective.
Ask the Union - If you have questions about what the union buster is having management say, contact the union for answers.
You can beat a union buster at his own game by sticking together!
This is great info . I see this going on. We in LLA saw all of this. Play the games with them guys. In this info it states the busters will do a letter an pass it to all managers. That's exactly what they done with the voting issue here. It's false and don't let these guys make you believe that is real. This is dirty work on their part.
Let's give these corporate pigs a wake up call. They said we have no money too improve the situation benefits/overtime/pension but there gonna need a lot of money too pay these union busting companies. Let's give them a roll call...NOF TOGETHER TO THE END UNION YES..ROLL CALL.
Anyone in the LA basin on here you have support in the Boston region.. Coast to coast!! Monday they will feed us crap.. After your vote you'll shove it back in their face !!
Rumor has it Lemkuhl was fired on Friday. Anyone know any truth of it. Big meetings on sunday,either gonna give money or come with a vengeance so be prepared don't coward down its 4th and inches lets win this!!!!!!
It'll be 4th and inches October 22. The game has just begun. Pull up your bootstraps and give 'em hell!
Hope so after the video of him speaking in laredo. He deserves it along with all the other dirty bastards. I am voting yes all the way. We bee union nationwide.
Do you know why these Union BUSTERS care about Conway? It's all about the money. They don't care who the Managers, Supervisors or who the "Employees" are. The only person they care about is... who's going to sign their BIG FAT CHECKS at the end of the day. Better yet, they haven't even met the Big Shot who is signing the check. Most importantly, if they win this Campaign they get a BONUS! Do we really want these guys that don't know Nothing about Conway and our struggles to get all this money? All in all if they lose they are not going to lose sleep over it. If we lose, we lose more than sleep!
Conways reputation has been ruined only by corporates greed. From employees to customers no one respects Conway. Be ready men and women for Mondays complete bullshit lies. Rumor has the firing of Lemkuhl and a dollar raise is suppose to buy us back. Only to find our insurance has gotten worse. Conway created the monster and now its upon them. You reap what you sew. If we don't stay strong now while we have them scattered like cockroaches we will only regret it later. Corporate bonuses up 900% while working man and womens wages have went down 500%. Now is the time for past due damage to be reclaimed upon victory! For every employee that wants a future for his or her family VOTE YES!!! And yes this is coming from the MIDWEST!!!!
Brothers and sisters remember today is a company wide meeting. Most likely with " Union Busters" at work to inform all management what to say to curve the union. Don't let these attorneys so called union busters win you over. They are all planning a so called raise to make it sound better. Truth is there is more to the organizing a union then money. It's called respect , job security, better healthcare, pension, fair pay. These jokers will do anything to make it sound better. We don't fall for their shit anymore. Enough lies seen already.
Well said Midwest and they are doing some dirty work as we speak . Don't fall for their games anymore. It's time to move for every worker in this company. They are being caught in lies everytime they speak. Even with the raise I will vote YES
Conway forgot who is the foundation of the company and that is drivers. Without us picking up and delivering freight the rest of them don't exist.drivers are what makes the company more the rest is overhead.
I wonder how it is going in XDE.
Iam loving all of the rhetorical discourse that is being presented in this dialogue. Most of us do not care about the so-called $1 raise that we will be getting probably Monday morning. This is really nothing in the whole scope of things. Everyone knows that this dollar will be taken from us in some other way. It is not about money anymore, it is about respect and the things that we were promised when we started at this company. We actually make less that YRC and the other companies because we pay for our medical and they do not. Why do drivers not understand all of the things that we lack compared to the union companies. Just because our hourly wage is more in many respects does not mean we are making more money.
Amen. This sums it all in one message. Hopefully people let MONEY brainwash them temporarily. Money will not fix all of the other things that drivers are suffering from at this company . Lean is gonna be shoved down your throat for the remainder of your career. Money does help but it don't get you respect, security, pension , healthcare. I don't think people are going to fall for this. Conway has went to far.
Hey Conway it's not about the money all we want is respect , good benefits , pension and to be heard but you didn't listen to us there is no turning back "UNION REPRESANTION " is the only way now ....
Miami,fl is 90% ready .... We are waiting for the green light
Orlando, fl we are at 85% strong also waiting for green light with Miami. No amount of money gonna stop us Union YES!!!! $$$$$$
Brothers and sisters I think by now we all know this is not about a dollar an hour rise or two but pride we have been taken for fools by this greedy executives and we have any honor left out vote has to be a YES for us our families and all of those who are not here today , this is about honor and respect more then money god bless vote YES!!!
We need to show these corporate PIGS with out drivers they have nothing. Imagine if we all called out sick nationwide on a Monday. I would take an un excused day off and 1 point just too sea what their gonna do.fOS's making pick up & deliverys?
Very true we are truck drivers we know we arent gonna be rich but we cant live off just social security after working 30 years
Are we to keep getting punked by Conway???? Management will carry arrogance now that they think they one. Only if they knew the real deal. 1 dollar aint shit if they screw the insurance up any more than it is. That will still have us 6% behind other leading carriers. All need to band together we have them right where we want them. KEEP THE VOTE ALIVE MIDWEST!!!!!!!
Let's get after it midwest!
Whispers in xde... we'll see ya soon ;)
I hope all knows that this so called increase that takes place in January factors in your cost of living increase for 2015.
Not just cost of living increases will not be in 2015, but insurance rates increase 624.00 a year. Raise is not what they are claiming. Don't let dollar signs fool you. Still don't correct all of the other issues that comes along with this place . Miami don't fall for it. Our vote is still YES
it is pretty bad when con- way has to buy a union buster in stead of useing the almost $ 3,000,000;00 million dollars towards conway employee benifits
who in the --- gives a pay raise and expectes you to wait for three months before you get it!!! the union buster who can not keep there word!! whatever they give they always take something away !! thats right they haven't gave us anything yet!!
Union busting at it's best.Remember they pass down their memos to management.

While the backbone of the company lives in poverty.
Wow now CONWAY found money from no where and are staring to give raise to the driver.. Here at MIAMI fl we got $2.03 raise staring jan 4 .. What a coincidence now that we are getting union representation... Sorry MR. CONWAY but we decide to get union representation just to take precaution. Because we know later you WIIL take that money back somehow...
LOOK PAST THIS TWO BUCKS AND SEE THE FUTURE , LIKE ALWAYS WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE GIVING YOU NOW IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY IN ANOTHER WAY STAY THE PATH VOTE YES .
Will take the raise but my vote is still for the UNION we are tired of all the BS Conway plus you are wasting your time and money on this so called consultants AKA "UNION BUSTERS " it's time for a change my brothers keep on fighting
Before we had these meetings with Lupe Cruze I didn't want the union but with all the knowledge of the union he gave us now I want the union and no one will mind paying Union dues for the union to negotiate a contract because we the workers alone can't negotiate shit atleast we have a chance of getting something better with the Union we have nothing to loose only gain I am on board all the way even if we have to protest and Mark Logan foward my message to Lupe Cruze and tell him to buy a bigger dam shirt with all that con-way money you guys are giving him instead of the employees I don't want to see his fat ass stomach while in the meeting anymore.
ULA umployee
Yea they going to take this money back in any way, like they did went they took our vacation. Just be strong and vote YES.
Who ever believes this video is a fool. That raise is nothing but a tiny little bandaid on a War Wound. It won't fix anything. Your telling me that this pay increase is going to heal the problems? So we take the money, then what? It won't bring Job Security (Conways favorite-stealing company time), RESPECT, vacation time, sick time (Not PTO combined), better Insurance. Brothers, we have come this far to be bought out by a measly $2.00. Employee's jobs are at stake trying to better Our Future. It took a lot of planning, weekend meetings (on their own time), risking their Jobs from spies and haters. We can't look back now. This is deeper than $2.00. Money just can't be thrown and fix it all. It's the Principle, the Mission. Things will remain the Same. Some of you may not know this but, Oak Harbor (some locations) tried the same thing, corporate gave them Hope, the employees bought into their lies and now they are back to their old ways. What do we have to loose? All we have left is our Brotherhood. Together we can!
Is it true ?
When they gave the last raise in June it was effective in a week with no video. We get a video and have to wait till January. I be satisfied when Lehmkuhl resigns. They really think where stupid, well guess what we smarter than u think.
2 dollars a hour isnt changing my vote vote yes
At this point in my carrier at Conway after 10 plus years of hard work filled with false promises and lies, the only answer is a BIG YES FOR THE UNION.
becareful of luis camarena the union buster at ulx who's provoking employees, fabricating lies and false accusations.
document everything paul styers,neil smith,mike wattiers,rick licon and the rest or management are saying all this people will have a day in court for falsifying documents.all this people i just mention are desperate and will do anything to anybody,that's why we need to stay together and vote yes for union representation, don't forget we are the union the employees.
united we stand divided we fall
Luis Camarena what you did was uncalled for but you just made us stronger we are taking this all the way no turning back Union All The Way Know and do us all a favor stop trying to be all friendly to us it's not working you scumbag....
We have a beast MIAMI. Her name NICOLE WOOD.. BUT NOT FOR TO LONG..
I'm pretty sure conway hr has received the employee claims over the years, and they decided to do nothing about it because as long as the employees are being pushed and harassed they will keep working. That is all that matters at conway, even if it is 4 out of ten guys doing the job because they don't kiss ass, while the rest stand around with the supervisor or down stairs with personnel supervisor in rodney doing nothing, if your supervisors would do their job right and actually supervise everybody, you would not have this problem. But just look at your supervisors no experience at all necessary at ula. I've been at ula for 15+ years and never seen it this bad. You have kids barely out of high school as supervisors, this is the result of your sorry ass supervisors, they don't care what goes on in the dock neither do we. Dispatcher dave how about you spread out the work and stop taking care of those lazy fucks, you are only making them lazier DAVE from ula...
Well all i can say Good luck to all the other locations who will be sticking together and will be getting a better living. Unfortunately here at UOA theirs a bunch of brain washed people who think con- way is great and they love being slaves to the greedy pig.So i wish all you out there Good luck and kick ConWay Azz. By voting YES TO BROTHER HOOD.
Just waiting on northern cal, local 70 for uoa or local 287 for usj
