  13. Remember when conway secretly bought consolidated freightways to acquire customers then behind the curtains, their high powered executives agreed to closet it down and filed for bankrupsy? There was evil in that corporate move, just created bad karma for conway back then. There you go!! Conway high powered executives!!! YOU GOT YOUR WELL DESERVE PUNISHMENT TODAY 09-12-2014!!!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! WE WON!!!! ON 1 SWIFT MOVE, LET THIS SET AN EXAMPLE FOR FEDEX FREIGHT, FOR THEIR GREEDINESS And Arrogance With their drivers and customers!!!!! ;-):-):-)

    1. On a kind note, conway didnt purchase consolidated freightways. ConWay is the non-union regional carrier created by CF which was built up using CF money. When ConWay was large enough to sustain itself without the support of CF they closed the doors at CF. It was all to get out of the union. CF was one of the 3 largest LTL carriers in the world along side of Roadway and Yellow. Look at the Con-Way name. Con stands for Consolidated. Con-Way Freight. Moved around it's still Consolidated Freight Way. Just now its non-union.

  30. Congrats Laredo, Time for USB, ULA, and Kettleman to join. I hate when the company brags to us about how much the "Company" makes but we have the worst insurance and pension around !!!! UOR has the worst management of them all !!!!!! Let's ALL hurry and sign those cards !!!!

  31. Uor and usb are too scared. They'd rather watch behind the wall.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I really hope UOR joins in. We heard in ULA that management refused to pay a driver for fueling because he went over 2 minutes !!!! We also have a FOM who has literally stood over us with a stop watch to see how long it took us to fuel, down to the exact sec of ULA pumps, pumping 12 gallons a minute!!! Really.... No one should have to work in these conditions, most of us here are just wanting to support our families without the fear of being "Walked Out"

  32. Let go USB if any one has any questions call local 63 at 626-859-4005, they have all the info u will need.

    ReplyDelete
  33. We need representation look at the whole drive cam thing supposed to be only third party and scm viewing the footage at usb you got all kinds of drivers office people and who knows else viewing this footage without your consent rights are being violated and this is illegal we need to take a stand.

  34. I really think that Conway should go union straight across the board world wide some like it some don't we have tried it your way Mr. Conway you keep taken and taken and then we have nothing while you sit in your big white chair and think if more ways to screw us over, You don't understand it's really not the money, Some of us men who have been here 20 years or more can't even retire you took away our best years we will get nothing we will be working till we die .But you on the other hand don't care cause you will leave with millions that you took from us don't NO how you sleep at nights and the rest of you that's playing along ,WE made Conway Not you and some of the younger people out there you have more to benefit than the older ones if Conway was all union, You think you can talk to us like dogs or belittle us well we all are fed up, you spent money on hand held devices ,cameras, uniforms that look like correction officers none of them was needed or a benefit to us just something else you all wasted money on, you hire people that's not needed just because you NO them your "buddy system " All of Conway needs a change world wide we need to stand together as ONE!!!!

  35. To all con-way employees... Watch what you say on these board's management is looking at them... Just looking out for my future brothers..

  36. Just heard we here in ULA are going to win the vote. Finally some representation, we are tired of your Crappy insurance !!!! And you FOS's !!!! And no pension. .Looks like Laredo is going to spread like WILD FIRE !!!! And Lencho we don't care for your Anti-Union comments .....

    ReplyDelete
  37. NIL is on board. Way to go guys in Laredo . We all as company drivers should think long and hard about how we have all been treated since this lean thing has started. Don't let your guards down and let's get the teamsters in. Don't fall for these managers having union busting techniques. That's their job to keep union out so you want get the pay benefits. Laredo you have set examples here. You can't screw certain terminals and cater to the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thank you for the advice about management "Watching". But that's why we want the Union. We are tired of being threatened to be walked out, we are tired of being intimidated, we should not have to fear management. We should be able to goto work in a NON-Hostile environment, that management has created. Most of the drivers just want to work. And we know "Management" is watching, we have cameras in our tractors. =) ..I..

  42. Here in Laredo Texas were about to see the UPS contract. In the next two weeks, to decide what's best for us please brothers don't let us down.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Its good to look at the contract to get ideas on what others have.Future members and current memebers of conway teamsters.....if you want to get a good contract this needs to go NATIONALl!! ..202 624 6800...national number....meaning every terminal that is getting together on it across the conway system needs for it to happen asap otherwise conway will bargain on a local contract and the rest of us will be letting lla down...Lets stop all the talk and start seeing some results. Havent hurd anything on the ltu since they were suppose to have had there meeting....results??
    Conway friends....if you cant stand for something (yourself)you are nothing. ...stand up for yourself or forever the take the abuse of
    conways unfair practices...its not going to change unless we bond together to make these changes happen!!!
    Lets get going asap!!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Amen ! Best comment on blog. Let's all make this happen not only for us and our families, but also to make things better on our brothers and sisters in LLA. Everybody think long an hard about what is coming with lean. They are goin lean and they are going to be doing a lot of cutting and trimming. Look at comments about the shop guys begging for union. Prime example of what's yet to come. Get on board guys and " PLEASE" stop posting your biz about meetings. Why be harassed when you can prevent it. Meet and get your petitions together for vote then celebrate.

  48. From Miami, fl don' t GIVEUP keep punching we need more union terminal...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Don't worry the second in command is making his rounds to all the Terminals to only get the feel on you all and see how things stand ask you questions to get your answers and then they feed off them, Only to see about how many will actually vote if they know they don't have much they will move on to the next one,Your only making it harder if you don't vote for union and all the pissed off people who complain on how your being treated and what they keep taken away you are the very ones who will NOT stand up for yourself ,You sit back and let others do the work but you will complain to other workers , Its time you stand up and stop letting Conway beat you down ,I'm tired of hearing bout them I'm voting for it they can tell you all day long but other places are doing just fine with it and are treated so much better they have a Penison that they can live off and they have paid insurance they have better pay! I could have run that company better than what they got in there hell a bum off the street could we the people made Conway we are the ones that put the millions of dollars and the BIG bonus in there pockets they don't give a shit about you or me or your families,So when time comes you need to rethink what Conway has done how did you feel when they took your best years away from your Penison and your weeks of vacation? Wasn't you pissed? I was and a big slap in the face when I get so called big bonus it's nothing anymore we use to get some good ones not anymore but they still get there s do you won't to work till you die? Most of us will we have to work somewhere just to have health ins .Conway is making money but blowing it on dumb things such as handheld devices,most recent the cameras to watch us, the uniforms new logos on the trucks . And don't forget when they fixed your truck all the money they saved by us going 62 to save all that fuel cost ,I could go on and on and Now I'm tired of it hell our manages don't no nothing they get job cause they know someone and have to ask how to do there job every time you turn around we have a new supervisor and then a new Terminal manager they move them around so much or watch them get escorted. Out the front door !I don't do nothing extra for them I don't tend to cook outs or eat with them when they have it at work I go home I'm there for my pay check not to be there friend because to me they will stab you in the back . I know some of the guys they party hard with there terminal managers and office people and a few drivers but its a hush hush thing Get it together drivers come aboard let do this nation wide!!!!!!
