Buffalo,NY (XBO) to vote on April 22

XBO to vote on April 22, 2015 6am thru 1pm

Buffalo DSR here...the union busters are all set to start their propaganda fest on April 13, 2015. It will be a brutal week for us, keep us in our prayers.

I wonder if Greg Lehmkuhl will make an appearance and make his fake pussy crocodile tears wile pleading for another chance. When the vote was postponed in December, Greg was scheduled to come and see us, but promptly canceled his appointment when he heard of the postponement. That goes to show exactly how much we really mean to him and the rest of the corporate leadership.

They only care when they have something to loose.

Due to several ULP charges filed by the Teamsters in mid December our original vote set for December 19, 2014 was postponed by the NLRB pending investigation. The investigation has been completed and a hearing date set. 

The NLRB has found enough evidence (mainly the company's own testimony gathered during the investigation)that the NLRB has issued a Notice of Hearing with a re-scheduled date of May 11, 2015 (the original hearing was to be April 27, 2015.) Case Number: 03-CA-142781 

If you want to see the original legal documents in PDF you can download them at the following link:

Please read the following posts to get the summary of the charges and the remedies sought. 

Keep the faith brothers and sisters this is FAR from over!!

==================================
THE PLAYERS

Greg Lehmkuhl........ President
Tim Staroba..............Vice President, Operations Eastern Area
Brett Thompson....... Service Center Manager
Steven Beyer ........... Labor consultant and has been an agent of Con-Way within the meaning of Section 2(13) of the National Labor Relations Act.
==================================

THE CHARGES

(a) Greg Lehmkuhl, via video message played at all terminals, announced a nationwide wage increase in response to union organizing efforts.

(b) Greg Lehmkuhl, via video message played at all terminals, announced nationwide changes to the safety policies in response to union organizing efforts.

(c) Tim Staroba, wile at XBO interrogated its employees about their union sympathies.

(d) Brett Thompson, at XBO threatened employees with implied loss of the above mentioned wage increase if they selected the Teamsters as their bargaining representative.

(e) Brett Thompson, at XBO, provided employees with daily free food in response to the Union’s organizing effort.

(f) Steven Beyer, at XBO, threatened employees with loss of the above mentioned wage increase if they selected the Teamsters as their bargaining representative.

(g) Greg Lehmkuhl, at all terminals, implemented a wage increase on January 4, 2015 in response to union organizing efforts.

(h) About January 8, 2015, Respondent suspended, and about January 12, 2015, discharged its employee Leon Higbee 

(i) Con-Way engaged in the conduct described above because Leon Higbee assisted the Union and engaged in concerted activities, and to discourage other employees from engaging in these activities.

(j) By the conduct described above Con-Way has been interfering with, restraining, and coercing employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 7 of the Act in violation of Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act.

(k) By the conduct described above Con-Way has been discriminating in regard to the hire or tenure or terms or conditions of employment of its employees, thereby discouraging membership in a labor organization in violation of Section 8(a)(1) and (3) of the National Labor Relations Act.

(l) The ULP's of Con-Way described above affect commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the National Labor Relations Act.

==================================
THE REMEDY

As part of the remedy for the ULP's alleged above, Teamsters seeks an Order requiring Con-Way, to provide a copy of all payroll records necessary to analyze the amount of back-pay due under the terms of such Order. 
.
As part of the remedy for the ULP's alleged above, Teamsters seeks an order requiring that the Con-Way reimburse Leon for all work search & work-related expenses regardless of whether the Leon received interim earnings in excess of these expenses, or at all, during any given quarter, or during the overall back-pay period.

As part of the remedy for the ULP's alleged above, Teamsters seeks an Order requiring that at a meeting or meetings scheduled to ensure the widest possible attendance, Con-Way’s representative Brett Thompson read the notice to the employees on work time in the presence of a Board agent. 

Alternatively, the Teamsters seeks an Order requiring that Con-Way promptly have a Board agent read the notice to employees during work time in the presence of Con-Way’s supervisors and agents identified above.

In view of the extensive nature of the unfair labor practices alleged above Teamsters seeks an Order requiring Respondent to:

(1) post in all its terminals affected by ULP's alleged above, any Notice to Employees that may be issue by the National Labor relations Board

AND

(2) electronically post the Notice to Employees for employees at all its terminals affected by the ULP's alleged above, if Respondent customarily uses electronic means such as an electronic bulletin board, e-mail, website, or intranet to communicate with those employees

AND

(3) send a copy of any Board Order and Notice to Employees to all its supervisors at its Terminal's affected by the ULP's alleged above.

Look at that my brothers and sisters, ALL TERMINALS AFFECTED, that means Con-way will be posting a Notice to Employees at ALL TERMINALS.

Greg Lehmkuhl's wage increase, and change in safety policy was global, meaning company wide, and as such when this notice is ordered to be displayed by the NLRB, it will be global also. 

"Con-way will fight it, they will never let it happen" you might say, they will of course appeal it, and they will loose that appeal and the order will come, and they will have no choice because it will be an order by a federal judge. Lehmkuhl has pulled some rather bone headed moves, but do you believe for a minute he will jeopardize his freedom by ignoring a federal order. Will he really chance contempt charges and jail time for it, I don't think so, how can he spend the money he stole from us if he's in prison.

Buffalo Driver here...

Before you vote Know the facts, without a contract...

You do not need an "Economic strike" to be permanently replaced, Conway can permanently replace you at anytime for any or no reason.

Seniority can be ignored, you can be placed on a different bid or start time, the policy is, Conway WILL USE you when and where they need they need you.

You can more easily be discriminated against, and it will be harder to fight it. Remember Marlon?

You will not have a grievance procedure. Conway's open door police is a joke, and you are seldom listened to. Remember Marlon?

You are exempted from overtime and Conway dose not have to pay overtime at all per the Department of Labor... http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs19.htm

You do not have defined breaks and lunches, and may be disciplined for breaking when it not convenient for Conway.

You have NO REPRESENTATION, such as stewards. Union stewards are fellow employees who represent the union on the job site. They make sure the contract is not violated, help employees who have problems with management.

You are not protected by Weingarten Rights, which guarantees you the right to union representation at investigatory interviews .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weingarten_Rights

You have no guarantee of wages, health benefits, raises, job security, hours, start time ect. Conway can, will and ALREADY HAS implemented unilateral changes to their benefit, and our detriment. We have lost sick days, good medical, pension, we have taken pay cuts, and 401k match reductions, start times have been adjusted, bids lost and fellow employees have been unjustly terminated. Trevor Lock is a great example, we didn't much like him, but come on, here's your anniversary pin, have some cake, and then "your fired" ..get the FUDGE out.

You can be disciplined at any time and for no cause. How many times have you been given a letter of instruction (or know some one who has) weeks or months after the fact, at a time when you cannot defend your self simply because you cannot remember the incident? With a contract Conway needs JUST CAUSE, and must adhere to a strict time limit.

You may face expensive (i.e. lawyer fees) legal protections, which are also law. These protections are included in the contract because it is easier and faster to enforce the rights under the union contract as opposed to filing charges as an individual.

You will not have any control over your future with Conway, You will never have a peer to peer relationship with Conway. Your relationship will always be as a child to parent, unfortunately without love, just absolute dominance!

You can be terminated at any time, for any or no reason at all (NYS is an employ at will state and it is in the policy book we are all "at will employees"). For example a centralized call center, an unreported puncture in a trailer's wall, damaged freight on a skid, or management is just having a bad day!

Remember...on vote day YOU have the power to make a difference for yourself and for all us. No one will ever know how you voted, unless YOU tell them. It is YOUR RIGHT to have a union, stand up for your rights, be strong and make a difference. The alternative is to live in fear and submission!

TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE GROVEL!!! VOTE UNION YES!!!

Miami teamster dsr: amen brother,you are a 100% right, same shit happens here in miami, they fired good. Workers for any reason and you don't have a chance to defend your self,that's why we need the union,brothers keep your word and your balls, union all the wayyyyy,and if we have to vote again we gonna put 1000 times.

Miami dsr teamster,that's right brother the only tool this union busters have is FEAR, don't be fooled ,VOTE YES! !!

Anonymous said...

Consider this ... the only reason nof lost was because of the house rats. Running and selling their soul to satan lupe . LUPE is an individual that does care about you .he relies on you to turn your co workers in to mgnt . There is nothing good and truthful that comes out of his mouth. He and his cronies act like they come to help you but instead they come to destroy your rights as a worker. So the only tool that lost soul has is fear .and rats like omar perez to kiss his ass .thats why orlando fell .because of pieces of human waste that only think about the now and not their future .and also pieces of human waste that claim to be christians but are only looking out for themselves right omar?

What do you think is gunna happen to those raises they just gave us? No freight means no profit no profit means bye bye raise without a union contract.

The latest should be that all of conways locations. Should be voting for Union Representation.WE ,ALL of conways work force should vote to have some kind of contract so we can get some of the companies profit and not let management take it all.WE ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE CONWAY WHAT IT IS ,BECAUSE OF OUR HARD WORK PROFITS ARE IN ALL HIGH.BECAUSE OF US CONWAY IS ONE OF THE TOP LTL COMPANIES AND WE SHOULD BE RESPECTED FOR ALL OUR HARD WORK.UPPER MANAGEMENT ALL THEY DO IS RAKE IN THE PROFITS AND ABUSE US.......
PEOPLE GET READY DOUG IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW VIDEO.GET READY TO HEAR HOW WELL CONWAY IS DOING AND IF YOU WORK HARDER HOW THE COMPANY WILL EARN MORE..SO GET BACK OUT THERE AND WORK HARDER..BUT THERE WILL BE NO MENTION ABOUT US GETTING A FAIR SHARE OR TREATMENT.BUT ALL THE BRAIN WASHED SHEEP WILL KNEEL AND JUST SAY OH YES MASTER WHAT EVER YOU SAY MASTER.AND THE LAZY LOW LIFE RATS WILL JUST KEEP GETTING THE CONWAY CHEESE.
SO WE SHOULD BE SAYING YES TO THE UNION...DONT FALL FOR THE BULL SHIT THAT THE UNION BUSTER TELLS YOU OR DOUG WILL SPILL OUT IN HIS NEW VIDEO...LETS UNITE AND VOTE YES.

Anonymous said...

People it's now or forget the Union for the next 10-15 years,Conway knows this. It takes a lot of money for the union to try and unionize a none Union company,so if we don't do this now the union will give up and Conway will commence to fuck us! And believe me it will, worse then before if we fail to unionize Conway will take back what they gave,the reason is if not for the threat of a union Conway never had intention of giving us what they gave us,this is what you would call an evil corporation, run by evil people!

Miami teamster dsr.. together we can achieve what we deserve, enough of the hand downs , we all know the only reason they gave us a raise is because a group of brave man in Laredo said we had enough and started this movement, the least we can all do is VOTE YES to show our gratitude and respect.I DID AND I'M PROUD OF IT UNION YES!!!!

I would like to know if all DSR'S are getting their 40 hours or more? Any terminals hiring dsr's & dock workers?

PEOPLE BE OBSERVANT WE WILL BE APPROACHING THE HOT SUMMER ONE OF THE BUSY SEASONS WILL CON-WAY ALLOW US DSR'S TO WORK OVER 40 HOURS WITH THE RAISE THEY HAVE GIVEN US? WILL THEY KEEP HIRING DOCK WORKERS TO CUT US OUT OF OT COMPLETELY?

NOW ASK YOURSELF DO YOU NEED UNION REPRESENTATION? OR DO WE NEED TO PURCHASE OUR OWN KNEE PADS & ASSUME THE POSITION? ONLY YOU CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. YOU CAN CHANGE THIS SITUATION WITH A YES VOTE OR YOU CAN LET CON-WAY CONTINUE TO SELF DESTRUCT US ALL ONE BY ONE. REMEMBER CON-WAY'S GOAL IS TO REPLACE 900 DRIVERS WITH NEW CHEAPER DSR'S.

A YES VOTE CAN STOP THIS EMPLOYEE SELF DESTRUCTION ONCE AND FOR ALL. LOOK INTO YOUR WALLETS & JUDGE FOR YOURSELF HOW MANY HOURS WILL CON-WAY ALLOW ME TO MAKE WITH THIS PAY INCREASE?

Greg visited us today at XBO. He implied a few threats. He talked about bargaining power, he told us we were worth less than 1/2 of 1 percent to Conway's total annual profits, told us we had nothing to bargain with. Talked about us going on strike. Told us he could fly in replacement drivers from other terminals in 6 hours, told us it wouldn't take him much longer to hire permanent replacements. He implied these 3 threats in less than 2 min (1 min 43 sec to be exact).

He canceled his visit to us in December when the vote was postponed by the NLRB for the investigation into the charges brought by the union. That showed us exactly how much we was "concerned for us", if we really gave a shit about us he would have kept his appointment to see us then! And now when he shows up he threatens us with implied closure and replacement!

He talked about this blog site, accused the union of administering it. No fucking clue its administered by his own employees, no fuckin clue it not the union posting here it is his own employees. Accused the union of calling him Numbskull on it and took great exception to being called that! Well after what I heard today, after being ignored in December, and then threatened today I propose we no longer call him Numbskull. I propose we should start calling him Dumbass!

Conway/XPO Employees said...

Mr. Greg, in case calling you Numbskull or Dumbass insults you, this blog is not run by the teamsters, IT IS run by your employees. Your employees are tried of being treated as second class citizens. See, people like you and ulx scm Paul Styers are the reason why we turn to the Teamsters for help, because you two bastards are hypocrites and scumbags. You recently threatened your employees by claiming to replace them, when you know it is illegal. We won't take being antagonized at work anymore.

Anonymous said...

Mr.Greg I just want to say that no I'm not a teamster at least not yet.and I post here because I want my Conway brothers and sisters to know that they have support from other locations.Also I come here to post because I believe we the workers for Conway should be treated with respect.The way managers treat us is like we're worthless And your not helping the situation because no one listens to the workers.But now we had enough of the slavery treatment.We the workers will unite and fight back by becoming Teamsters. You and the rest of the slave drivers should stop bullying and also stop the threats.Just let us become Teamsters and get fair treatment and a fair contract.Mr.Greg you and Mr.Doug have made enough money for A life time its time to share the wealth with the people who made the company one of the best( that would be us).and do something about your management.BUT WHO IM I KIDDING ,YOU PEOPLE ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR PROFIT.That's why I will keep postin here till we make Conway a union company.

This is why im fighting for the Union.People in this country should have jobs that they can count on and not be worried about whats going to happen tomorrow or the next day.Ive been telling and asking to please think about what your doing when you dont support the union.when companies like conway and walmart keep can unity out. Of the work place the people in high positions reek the benefits mean while the lower workers get pushed out.This is why we need representation in the work force and Im talking on all types of jobs.So please people think about the good that will come if we the workers of CONWAY wer to unite and vote for unity and representation.We would set a great standard for the rest of the working nation.So please step up and VOTE FOR THE UNION lets make this a great country with a strong economy again.Dont let the already rich tell us what we should get....vote YES..XBO its your time to fight back and VOTE YES..ALOT of us are behind you all the way....

XAU driver here, let me start out by saying XAU IS STILL IN IT TO WIN IT!
management here has been so nice to us after they got spanked with those labor board charges. Management wants our input on how things could be better, I'm so glad you asked.
How about a real fucking insurance, not this dollar store insurance boulshit!
How about contributing more than 2%, you cheap fucks!
How about bringing back OUR sick days back so we don't get penalized a point when it's convenient for Conway!
How about a contract specifying wage increases and all the above!
You mentioned MIAMI was already in negotiations and by law you had to negotiate in good faith. Well we're tired on waiting on you Greg so now we're gonna stick this teamsters petition so far up your ass you'll be doing the fucking river dance! We will take this to an election, that I promise!

Back in the day when this company use to be a union it use to be one of the best companies to work for. We have tried it without a union all these years, all I hear is complaints about how Conway treats its workers, so what do we have to loose by getting the union back? Nothing we have nothing to loose and everything to gain.vote the union in and u will see better pay,better health insurance, a pension better vacation time you will be treated with respect by management,not because they want to,but because u have legal representation. Please vote yes for future sake!!!

XBO be strong and vote yes. Remember all the aggravation over the years ie. Greg, Marlin, Trevor, etc. And everyone remembers losing a years vacation because corporate aligned with other regions.

SMH, it goes to show the level of ignorance on the part of the voters!! It's pretty clear they don't know what a union will do for you! What your rights are as an employee, free from intimidation and and you right to know what is right. All I have to say is with lean, you just may be part of a work share system with sll these part time dock workers and this no vote just allowed the company to do just that! You'LL see, because it's already happing.

Oh wow that's crszy now numbskull knows the laws do not apply to him, it appears he can not be stopped, unless the stocks plummet do to a significant drop in profits due to numbskull spending more time in nlrb court than his office.

SO WILL ANYONE FROM XBO SHOW UP FOR THE COURT DATE? GREG IS BETTING BIG TIME THAT YOU GUYS WON'T. HE'S CONFIDENT BECAUSE HE BROUGHT IT & SOME OF THE GUYS DRUNK THE KOOL-AID OF INTIMIDATION. GREG DEFINITELY BROKE THE LAW & HE KNOWS IT BUT HIS LEGAL COUNSEL ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THAT RISK & IF HE COULD SCARED XBO TO A NO VOTE THEN MOST LIKELY THEY WONT SHOW UP FOR THE COURT DATE.

PEOPLE AS HARD AS IT IS TO WITNESS THIS DEFEAT WE HAVE TO KEEP MOVING. WE NEED MORE TO STAND NO MATTER WHAT.

WE NEED MORE LAREDO'S, MIAMI'S, & CALI'S......DO WE HAVE ANY?

I READ IN THE BLOG ONE OF THE SCARE TACTICS IS THAT HE COULD REPLACE ALL THE DSR'S IN 6 HOURS.....THIS GUY IS OUT OF CONTROL, A TRUE DICTATOR.

THAT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS ALONG WITH PRICING WHY WE ARE LOSING CUSTOMERS. THIS GUY IS A REAL BULLY THAT EVENTUALLY WE BE BRIUGHT DOWN.
BUT UNTIL THEN HE'S LAUGHING & TOASTING TO ANOTHER CONQUEST.

THIS GOES OUT TO ALL THE YES VOTERS AT XBO....WE THANK YOU FOR STANDING STRONG, NO MATTER WHAT NUMBSKULL TOLD YOU GUYS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH & DETERMINATION. SOME TERMINAL WHO'S READING THESE BLOGS WILL EVENTUALLY SAY FUCK IT, I'M GOING TO BE TRUE TO MYSELF & TAKE MY YES VOTE ALLTHE WAY NO MATTER WHAT. IF HE WANTS TO ROLL LIKE THAT SO BE IT. I WAS LOOKING FOR A JOB WHEN I CAME & I CAN LOOK AGAIN & I CAN TAKE THE CUSTOMERS I SERVE WITH ME.

GOD HELP CON-WAY EMPLOYEES FIND THAT DOOR & THE COURAGE TO WALK THROUGH IT **** UNION IS THE KEY TO UNLOCK THESE DOORS FOR US SLAVES!

I would love to see who else has the balls to stand up to this company and vote yes once again like Miami did are they the only ones with balls and dignity and to earn the respect that they did, come on people its a f****ken conspiracy they have you by the balls whenever they want they do whatever they want, to do with you and by the way here comes one more time once again f****ken LEAN it is ridiculous the regimen of this company the money and they're spending not for them to go Union and the morons that keep on thinking that they have a future when it's only gonna get worse Buffalo New York I feel sorry for you guys you better hang on tight cuz theres hurricane coming towards you they're going to Terminate every single one that had anything to do with the union movement get ready guys, people you still don't get it we need union representation if not we will always be an at will employee and of course that's what the company wants total control of you because, without their computers there GPS the radars their EOBR'S they would be f****ken lost in Oblivion not knowing what the fuck to do.
but here's one for all of you that voted no for Union Representation, you will see in the end the changes of lean which is a big piece of Shittttttt !!! in having total control of what they want to do with you now think about that and the next time another terminal votes just be sure that you're going to win if not you will be sorry. I rest my case.these Setbacks are only the beginning of the End OF THIS WAR !!!

If he really said that he would replace people in 6 hours if they voted yes then yes he violated the law, however if this is just another lie then stop the lies and post the truth. A loss is just that a loss. But you can still come back and get a win. It takes true facts and for all to work as a team. Just look around they are working as a team and winning, are they any better? No, are they organized yes. So why can't you?

We need the large terminals to go Union first. These small terminals in small markets are too weak to do it on there own. We need Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis, Orlando to vote first. Then the rest will follow. we need you Big markets to lead us!! We are too easily Bullied. Will you Big terminals get this going?

Chicagoland said...

Just curious
What about short runs no dock too
Then bottom guys can't make money if they don't get miles or double or triple turn in Chicagoland have lots of short run

I guarantee everyone that numbskull and the rest of mgmt is sooooooo mad at themselves it could get real bad for a lot of terminal's except the one's that voted in the union, all these year's they were so scared of the east going union and they kissed the east ass for nothing, so yes they are kicking there selves for backing down and paying the east more and better benefits now they know including the rest that always thought don't mess with the east just a big scam

Anonymous said...

Looks like numbskull might take back the raise and the other stuff now that he knows he could have gota way with giving nothing , now that he knows talk is cheap and he bought into it , so now we can laugh at numbskull or is it dumbass ? we are laughing all the way to the bank.

Stotlar is the laughing stock of the corporate world he was tricked into giving up 100 million dollars in raises plus all the other stuff so yes the big bad doug stotlar got it good from his drivers and no one had to whisper sweet nothings in his ear i bet board of directors are thinking how in the world did those drivers take 100 million from us, if there not carefull we might scam them for another 100 million hahahaha lmao lmao at doug and the board got ya doug $$$$$$$$$$ lmao lmao

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GIVE A BIG 5 ***** TO LAREDO. LAREDO HUNG IN THERE & THERE CO-WORKERS BECAME THEIR BLOOD BROTHERS. THEY LOOKED OUT FOR EACH, HAD EACH OTHERS BACK GOT TOGETHER & HAD SECRET MEETINGS AWAY FROM CON-WAY TO KICK THIS UNION CAMPAIGN OFF. THANK YOU LAREDO FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP & COMMITMENT TO HELPING ALL OF US. THANK YOU MIAMI ALSO FOR STAYING ON THESE BLOGS & GIVING US A HEADS UP ON CON-JOB'S TALKING POINTS.

PEOPLE THESE TWO TERMINALS STUCK IT OUT THROUGH ALL THE THREATS....WHY DIDN'T NUMBSKULL REPLACE ALL OF THEM IN 6 HOURS BECAUSE THEY VOTED YES? THEY ARE STILL HERE, WORKING FOR CON-WAY WITH LESS STRESS & BULLSHIT. THEY COME ON THESE BLOGS CONSTANTLY & TELL EVERYONE HOW BETTER OFF THEY ARE SINCE THEY BECAME UNION.

HONESTLY IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME THREATS, VOTED YES TO UNION ANYWAY, AND NOW THEY HAVE JOB SECURITY, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

I'VE SAID BEFORE SLAVERY HAS NEVER BEEN A FRIEND TO ANY MAN. WILL WE CONTINUE TO BE SLAVES OR WILL WE CONTINUE TO LET NUMBSKULL THE DICTATOR BULLY US ALL THE WHILE HE CONTINUES TO GET RICHER?

Anonymous said...

You're turning this into a joke now, I thought it was about being treated better and better benefits and a pension? Money is what we got and that can be taken away later or they can raise the benefits and now we just lost the raise by paying more. So either man up and fight for what is right and not turn this into seeing what we can get out of them. You say they are running scared but I really don't think so, look around they are getting away with making sure you vote No by what you say lying, that means they don't fear what is said or they don't care. The battle has just begun and will take a long time to achieve. And another thing, stop bashing the terminals that voted it down, they believed what they thought was right at the time, at one point they were one of us and on our side however the other side got to them via lied and deception. So show them the support that once was or else you will make others see that you will turn on everyone else down the road. Thank you

Anonymous said...

GOOD TALKING POINTS, BUT WE NEED TO POINT OUT AGAIN THAT THE SAME STRATEGIES ARE STILL BEING PRACTICED TO DEFEATED TERMINALS. INTO GOING WHICH IS I'M GONNA SCARE THE HELL OUTTA YOU.

FOR ALL THE NO VOTERS, THIS IS NOT ABOUT BASHING ON YOU GUYS. THIS IS JUST REMINDING YOU GUYS THAT THOSE OTHER TERMINALS EXPERIENCED THE SAME THREATS AND MOVING FORWARD ANY TERMINALS THAT VOTE NEXT THOSE THREATS WILL BE USED AGAIN. THIS IS NUMBSKULL FAVORITE AMMO HE LOVES THE HELL OUT OF THREATENING US.

YES IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT GETTING THOSE BETTER BENEFITS, PENSION AND SO FORTH. THE RAISE WAS THE BAIT ATTEMPT TO STOP THE UNION & YES WE KNOW IT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY & ALREADY HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY WITH THE INCREASE IN THE INSURANCE RATES.

THIS IN DEFINITELY NOT ABOUT DIVIDING US EMPLOYEES, IT'S ABOUT RECOGNIZING THOSE TERMINALS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME HARRASSMENT TACTICS AND STILL VOTED YES & NOW THEY ARE IN NEGOTIATIONS FOR A CONTRACT.

EVERYONE LET'S KEEP MOVING FORWARD. WE KNOW THAT SOME OF US DO FALL PREY UNDER THE STRESS & HIS SCARE METHODS OF NUMBSKULL. AND NO THIS IS NOT A JOKE WE ARE IN THIS TO WIN THIS SO MIAMI KEEP COMING ON HERE AND GIVING US THE ENCOURAGEMENT WE SO DESPERATELY NEED.

I read in the blog one of the scare tactics is that the president threaten to replace all the DSR in 6 hours! Employees shame on you numbskull you guys need to call media and Nrlb press charge for those intimidation yes for union representation!

conway's lawyer and teamsters lawyer are negotiating a contract in miami one of the first negotiating agreement both sides agree is that conway will negotiated in good faith and the teamsters will not strike.xbo drunk the blue kool-aid and got scared when numbskull told them the teamsters were gonna strike and that was going to give numbskull the legal rigth to replace all employess at xbo same bullshit lie was used at Bakersfield., ca. Harlingen, tx. New Hampshire, orlando and california.most of you guys voting no for union representation ask yourself when are you going to retire and how much money are you going to save for your retirement. Without a pension most of us will not retire and if we retire at 65 we'll need to work part time as greeter at Walmart to make ends meet.

AND WHAT IS CON-JOB'S GOALS? TO CONTINUE ON THE PATH OF LOSING CUSTOMERS, GIVING PENNY RAISES EVERY 3-5 YEARS & AT THE SAME TIME GO UP ON OUR INSURANCE COVERAGE TO GET THE PENNY RAISES BACK. KEEP OVERPAID STAFF THAT HAS BEEN DEMOTED DOWN TO MGRS OR SUPERVISORS ON THE PAYROLL? CONTINUE TO OUTSOURCE DEPARTMENTS TO COVER FOR THE LOSS IN REVENUE THAT OUR SALES HAS CREATED IN THEIR PRICING?

NUMBSKULL WHETHER OUR TERMINALS WIN OR LOSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE PAYING OUT TO STOP EMPLOYEES FOR GOING UNION. UNTIL YOU GUYS TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY & GIVE EMPLOYEES BACK BETTER HEALTH CARE PACKAGE, PENSON, 401K MATCHING & ANNUAL RAISES I DON'T SEE NUMBSKULL STOPPING HIS TERROR CAMPAIGN ON EMPLOYEES.

The reason we cant win a union election at con-way isn't Greg or the union busters.The problem is the workers.I said it before and i'll say it again..Most of you think to highly of your self's.Conway throws out a bribes and most slaves are shackling on their own wrist and shackling the rest of us along with them and acting like con-way gives a damn about the slaves.The slaves eat up that whole thing of moving forward and doing what matters to the community.If that was true then why the fuck did it take LAREDO and the UNION for us to get a raise from con-way? why suddenly the change in policy?.Why suddenly Nichole Woods gets fired along with the rest of the thugs that where harassing the slaves and meant nothing to Greg or Con-way?Well people answer that?Where's the stupid ass bastard who wrote.If you can answer that with a smart reply the administrator of this site will suck your D..k?Or Where is the guy who said were all a bunch of lazy people and needed to get an education.If you two can answer.Why did it take Laredo and the UNION for us to get something?Then you two can go suck each other ass holes.As for the rest who think your Gods gift to driving or dock work.Just remember Greg can replace you in just 6 hours.All he has to do is call in the other suck asses...Please answer smartly Either wise your special school teachers will be disappointed in your education.

GOOD TALKING POINT, MY THOUGHTS ON THOSE QUESTIONS AND MIND YOU THOSE QUESTIONS HELP TO CREATE HOW DO WE REALLY ACHEIVE WANT WE DESPARETELY WANT? WE KNOW ANN ARBOR READS THESE BLOGS RELEGIOUSLY FIGURING OUT OUR EVERY MOVE AND THOUGHT. THEY HAVE ANALYSTS READING ADVISING ALONG WITH THIER LEGAL COUNSEL TO STAY STEPS AHEAD OF US.

ANYWAY BACK TO MY THOUGHT ON YOUR QUESTIONS BLOGGER:

GOES BACK TO A OLD SCHOOL STATEMENT:
HE WHO HAS THE MONEY IS THE ONE WHO CREATES THE RULES. YES THEY GAVE A LITTLE (RAISES, MORE FOOD & OTHER PUSSY KOOL-AID GIFTS, COOK OUTS, ETC.)

HAVE WE THE EMPLOYEES REALLY AFFECTED THEIR POCKETS? UNTIL THAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL TERMINALS CAN VOTE ON THE SAME DAY WE ARE NOT CREATING A BIG OF AN IMPACT. IF WE CIULD COME TOGETHER AS EMPLOYEES & KICK IT OFF AS A BAND OF BROTHERS THEN WE COULD ACHEIVE OUR GOALS.

THE POWER TO DEFEAT & CHANGE THIS CULTURE HAS TO COME IN NUMBERS...

ANN ARBIR I KNOW YOU ARE ALREADY PUTTING YOUR STRATEGY TOGETHER FOR THIS ONE..

THIS MY THOUGHTS, OPEN TO OTHER OPIONIONS. NO RIGHT IR WRONG ANSWERS BECAUSE THIS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE. EVERY COMMENT IS VALID BECAUSE WE ALL EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT SYSTOMS TO THIS CULTURAL SICKNESS OF NUMBSKULL, STOTLAR, SHAREHOLDERS, WALLSTREET, & MONEY BROUGHT POLITICANS WHO ARE BROUGHT BY CORPORATIONS.

Anonymous said...

Amen to that last statement about politicians being bought especially the repuplicans not saying that the liberals are any better garbage,but at least they are not racist. the repuplicans have always voted against the interest of the middle class or workers and they are doing it again just like almost all the southern states have right to work laws those are all anti worker right work laws and only helps the corporation and the rich company owners,but these people vote them in it helps the employer fucks u and pays u less, right to work for less that's what that law does but people look at it and say damn not only is that repubicans politician are racist but wants us to have right to work to divide us,these people will not vote union because a union makes it even and fair for everyone and every color and race. The reason the rich can divide and conquer is because we let them corporations and rich people don't care about the color of the skin they just care about the color of money and how much they have while we're fighting over color of skin,what race we are,fight over religion believes that's how they're' dividing us and conquering us.

Conway's safety is nothing but a joke at ULA a couple of conway's driving school graduates got involved in traffic incidents one of those new graduate was being trained by a safety driver and got involved in an accident while the trainer was sleeping another new driver got himself a speeding violation 65 mph on a 35 mph this goes to show LEAN and conway's safety is all about profit no concern for public safety and employees safety,

HOW BADLY DO WE WANT UNION? WE NEED TO GO BACK & ORGANIZE UNDERGROUND. GET IT GOING FROM COAST TO COAST BEHIND THE SCENES. MIAMI, LAREDO HELP US OUT HERE.

We need the large terminals in large markets to vote first! Chicago,Memphis,Atlanta,Orlando etc... The rest of us are too small, and easily bullied. The small Barns can't seem to get it done. If you large terminals go first then we will follow!! Let's see Greg try to bully The big Barns!!

We have to organize behind the scenes all those TERMINALS you listed blogger will have ti communicate behind the scenes. They all need to file in the same week.

IT CAN BE DONE PEOPLE, WE NEED FRESH HUNGRY PEOPLE WHO CAN REALLY APPRECIATE A GOOD HEALTH CARE PACKAGE. PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEIR 401K MATCH AS IT WAS BEFORE. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO WANT ANNUAL RAISES WITHOUT BEING CHIPPED AWAY BY OUTRAGEOUS INSURANCE PREMIUMS.

THAT'S WHAT'S IT'S GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE. ..WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A PAGE OUT OF LAREDO'S SUCCESS. LAREDO ORGANIZED AWAY FROM CON-WAY TO GETTER DONE.

PEOPLE. PUT ASIDE THE COLOR GAMEX WHAT POLITICAL PARTY YOU WITH BECAUSE I BET YOU THAT PARTY DON'T GIVE ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY & YOUR RETIREMENT YEARS. STOP TRYING TO PREVENT OTHER PEOPLE FROM TRYING TO TAKE CARE IF THEIR FAMILIES & FUTURE.

STOP, STOP, STOP, THIS OLD CHILDISH BULLSHIT THINKING THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE. I DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE SOME DON'T WANT OTHERS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES. WE ARE NOT GOD'S, WE DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY WE DON'T WANT EVERYONE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FUTURE.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE BUSINESS OF ORANIZING, LET'S GET BEHIND THE SCENES AND MOVE IT. LET'S GET OUR BENEFITS, HEALTH CARE, PTO, PENSION, RAISES, BONUSES BACK. WE CAN'T GET IT IF WE QUIT NOW. ..ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE RATS, THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF MANY TERMINALS VOTING AT ONE TIME.

WE GONNA POSION THOSE RATS WITH DETERMINATION & BY SUCCEEDING.

PEOPLE LET'S REMEMBER THAT ANN ARBOR IS READING THESE BLOGS SO THEY WILL BE PLANNING THEIR TERROR CAMPAIGNS. ..AGAIN THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF TERMINALS GOING IN ONE WEEK.

So what's going on out there?

Anonymous said...

What i would like to see is XBO take conway to court and sue them for harassment and threating to be replaced in 6 hours.The 28 who voted for the union should be filing for a .lawsuit and make sure the court makes conway post all over its locations why there being taken to court.Their was a posting here about conway having to post something about a lawsuit at our location nothing was posted.Why isnt that being looked into.Conway is breaking the law by not posting that legal notice.Seems like nobody has the guts to stand up for there rights.
If want the union to help us we need to start helping ourselfs first and that by unity and support from each other.(From location to Location).and people remember we have the NLRB to protect us from this greedy thugs.We are the work force that makes this nation rotate.We are the ones that bring in the money.So stop whippering like worthless slaves and stand up like men or women what ever the your case may be.We make it or break it.ITS ON US PEOPLE.

It isn't ritten in stone but i hear that the union is still going after con-way for what happend hear at xbo just stand by will keep u posted

Anonymous said...

I agree with you blogger, that is definitely a threat & it's harrasment. I can't go inside of the minds of our brothers at XBO but I would probably guess just having NUMBSKULL there for that one day was probably a very intense day. I know they probably approached that day feeling confident that they was surley going to be UNION that day.

A lawsuit definitely needs to be filed, and then it needs to be extended into a class action suit. Not to stress XBO out right now but guys once you get yourselves together the ones who voted YES FOR UNION you guys get together in private away from the job. You guys need to go together and seek LEGAL COUNSEL and take all information you were able to get your hands on especially on that dreadful day NUMBSKULL was there with his campaign on terror speeches.

TO ALL THE YES VOTERS AT XBO, STAND TOGETHER AS ONE. TRUST ME THERE ARE SOME HUNGRY LAWYERS OUT THERE THAT WOULD LOVE TO REPRESENT YOU GUYS. LAWYERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN FIGHTING CORPORATE LAWYERS & CAN BE JUST AS LOW DOWN & DIRTY JUST LIKE CON-WAY'S LOW DOW DOWN DIRTY BASTARDS COUNSEL. CON-JOB IS NOT THE ONLY LAWYERS THAT CAN FUCK OVER PEOPLE. THEY ARE A LOT OF SHARK LAWYERS OUT THERE WITH PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE WHO WOULD LOVE TO REPRESENT YOU GUYS THEY SMELL $$$$$ JUST LIKE CON-JOB DO. XBO YES VOTERS DO LIKE LAREDO DID MEET IN SECRET, I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN BRING IT BECAUSE YOU GUYS WERE THE ONLY ONES IN YOUR TERMINAL WHO DIDN'T BREAK WHEN NUMBSKULL CAME TO TOWN TALKING SMACK. IT'S TIME EMPLOYEES THAT CON-JOB GET TO SEE & FEEL THE REPERCUSSIONS OF FUCKING AROUND & TERRORIZING PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE. BY THE WAY NUMBSKULL THIS IS NOT A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. PEOPLE NUMBSKULL IS PLAYING EVERY CARD TO KEEP HIS JOB, HE'S A MAJOR PLAYER & VICTIM OF KISSING UP TO SHAREHOLDERS & WALL STREET. PEOPLE DON'T GET IT TWISTED, IF CON-WAY WASN'T WORRIED WE ALL COULD FILE PETITIONS & VOTE FOR UNION ONE TERMINAL AFTER THE OTHER IN PEACE. WE HAVE TO HELP OURSELVES ACHEIVE THE GOAL OF BECOMING UNION.
