Employees Demand Discussions with CEO to Address Serious Issues
(GREENWICH, Conn.) – Today, XPO workers from the United States and Europe, along with union leaders, gathered outside the XPO Logistics shareholder meeting to call for CEO Bradley Jacobs to meet with them to address a laundry list of serious concerns.
XPO is a top 10 global logistics company and its employees around the world are angry about the company’s anti-worker actions and abuses. So far, Jacobs has spurned their requests to meet. A delegation attended the meeting to demand a meeting to discuss workers’ concerns.
“Many of the 19,000 employees of XPO/Con-way Freight are very upset about the company’s refusal to bargain in good faith, the terminal closures, the subcontracting and layoffs,” said Tyson Johnson, Director of the Teamsters National Freight Division. “Workers are fighting back by forming their union with the Teamsters."
“Today’s action in Greenwich is historic because the Teamsters and members of several labor unions in Europe are coming together to tell the truth about XPO’s campaign of global greed,” said Fred Potter, Director of the Teamsters Port Division. “The company is mistreating port, warehouse and freight workers across the U.S. and the world.”
XPO is mismanaging the integration of its new businesses which has created significant operational and financial risk for the company and its investors. In addition to the Con-way Freight workers’ struggles, the company’s port and rail drivers are fighting company wage theft in excess of $200 million because of persistent misclassification as independent contractors.
XPO’s greed also extends to Europe beginning with breaking its promise to not layoff any workers in France for at least 18 months after XPO’s purchase of Norbert Dentressangle SA. Workers in Europe and their unions have been fighting back against XPO’s disrespect, lies and attempts to slash jobs.
"We applaud today's action in Greenwich,” said Steve Cotton, General Secretary of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF). “This event is the first time that a new network of concerned workers has taken action on XPO. The company has to listen. The company has to talk."
The coalition of workers and unions plans more events in an effort to get Jacobs to meet with the group to discuss the workers’ issues.
The 1.4 million-member International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents more than 75,000 freight members, including nearly 200 at XPO/Conway. For more information, please visit https://teamster.org

ReplyDeleteWell just when you think xpo got rid of the bull shit Lean crap. Here we go again wasting Millions on bullshit lean programs. The new lean Guru is in the house..
ReplyDeleteGREENWICH, Conn. - May 18, 2016 -XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) ("XPO") today announced that it has appointed Ramon Genemaras
to the newly created position of chief transformation officer, effective immediately. Mr. Genemaras will lead the ongoing transformation of the company's global business processes with a P&L focus.
Mr. Genemaras has nearly three decades of senior experience in operations excellence, network optimization, strategic sourcing management and Lean Six Sigma with Fortune 500 companies. He has led the transformation of multi-billion dollar businesses through significant periods of change, including global integration
Now if anyone missed it. XPO love's to make up positions for unqualified people. Just like making the old Lean management into (ass)istant of directors of operations..
What a bunch of wasted money on a bunch of useless people.
Oh well bring back Lean.
At XCW up in dispatch you can catch a contact buzz by all the dock smelling like marijuana and management does nothing about it as long as drivers hours are cut back there happy time to call ATF in and maybe Teamsters we city drivers can barely get 8 hours
ReplyDeleteHR is only there for the company, they are not there for you. Do not put any trust in your HR department. "Let me check on that and get back to you with an answer" sound familiar? All they are is a company snitch. Sign a card and get all the rules in writing.

Thanks to Logan our Genius Operation manager that the only reason he is in Mia and everyone knows it, it's to make Mia fail, they got rid of him in Orlando according to the employee's of X-CONWAY because he was a A-HOLE said by Orlando DSR'S but what Mr Jacobs Doesn't Know is that 1 of the reasons we went UNION was because of people like this, and the way that Nicole WoodS was Treating everyone and it's, happening RIGHT NOW SAME SHIT DIFFERENT DAY!
ReplyDeleteSO AGAIN WHY WE WENT UNION

ReplyDeleteChicagoland rise up its time cards are everywhere being signed get on board nothing but cuts cuts cuts comeing
ReplyDeleteMIAMI TEAMSTER...KEEP YOUR WORD AND YOUR BALL, BECAUSE AT THE END THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE . UNION YESSSSS.
ReplyDeleteWell i kept warning all of you and you still keeping your faith on XPO.. Well here's some news for all of you..
ReplyDeleteSummary
Over the past few years, XPO Logistics has engaged in aggressive acquisitions that were done with little regard to the economic/cash flow repercussions.
We blame XPO’s executive compensation plan for the acquisitions that dilute shareholders, grow debt, and lose money.
When looking through the non-GAAP noise, the underlying economics of the business reveal a much worse situation.
Stop us if you've heard this scenario before: soaring debt, significant shareholder dilution, multiple large acquisitions, and executives paid for stock price performance, all of which results in massive revenue growth with no profits. No we're not talking about Valeant (NYSE:VRX) or Perrigo (NYSE:PRGO), or any prior Danger Zone stocks. We're talking about XPO Logistics (NYSE:XPO), which looks like another roll up scheme, for the Danger Zone this week.
UNDATED DETAILS XPO LOGISTICS DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIER EMPLOYEES ONLY THEIR $$$$$ WAIT AND SEE WHEN IT'S ALL OVER.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK X-CONWAY EMPLOYEES .
You know it's funny how people just wait around to see what will happen Instead of waking up 1 day and saying, WE ARE TIRED OF LETTING CORPORATE EXECUTIVES GET AND PUT ALL THE MONEY $$$ IN THEIR POCKETS,People of X-Conway and XPO LTL do not let yourselves be Manipulated these Company's you can have a better future and life making more money having better Benefits towards your future, but I Guess you won't see it until it hits you and it will. but I guess most of you are all Ignorant about what XPO will do in the near Future Good luck to all.
ReplyDeletePS: DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU BEFORE IT'S TO LATE!!
That's exactly what's going to happen
ReplyDeleteTo all the terminals just waiting to see what happens in Miami BEFORE you hop on the train: The train could use some help. It's a long hard ride up the hill and the company will do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING it can to delay the arrival of the train into the station. It costs the company nearly 25K per month to conduct contract talks. Imagine if 10 more terminals filed for representation by the Teamsters. The cost to the company just went up to 250K per month. Imagine again 10 MORE terminals file for union representation. Now, the company is spending 500K per month to conduct contract talks. GET IT YET??? The company is ONLY interested in the bottom line. PROFIT. If we make it less profitable for them to delay reaching agreement on a contract, they will stop delaying and accept the inevitable. You have nothing to lose. Nobody will ever know you signed a card. Nobody will ever know how you voted in the election. Your future is in your own hands. Pick up a pen and sign a card today.
ReplyDeleteGood news comeing soon boys help is on the way
ReplyDeleteThe time is now Chicago lets go get them signed and let's show them we have balls and will not take there shit anymore
ReplyDeleteWell said my friend well said the Shit is going to hit the fan soon. Bubba up north I'm waiting for these chicken Shit Billy goats to have some balls and stand up already. Miami great job boys wish everyone had the balls you do keep it going on Union Strong.
ReplyDeleteIt can't be said often enough, "In unity, there is strength". We are protected by the cloak of anonymity. The company will NEVER know that you signed a card. The company will NEVER know how you voted. We do all the work and the profit trickles down to us in the form of hourly pay. They pay us what THEY want to pay, not what we're WORTH. The company will rake in BILLIONS in profits over the next few years and their only concern is the shareholders. To them, we are as replaceable as a piece of equipment. Tractors get old, trash them and buy new ones. Forklifts get old, trash them and buy new ones. To them, drivers are a dime a dozen. They have no respect for the skills and work ethic we bring to the table. They have the money and they have the power. The only way we can shift the balance of power is to join together as one unshakeable unit. Think of a see saw with the 1,000 pound company sitting on one side. One driver mounts the opposite side and the company laughs and says "Is that all you got"? a second driver gets on and the company repeats,"Is that all you got"? All of a sudden, five drivers come from the park and jump on the see saw. The company flies up into the air, desperately trying to hold on...and the drivers say..."We got more where we came from". That's how it works and that's why it's so important to get on the see saw NOW. There will never be a better time for us. MAKE them understand that we are not going away. Make them understand that it is in their own self interest to treat us with the respect and dignity we deserve. Make them spend their money until they realize it will be more profitable to offer us a decent contract than to fight the inevitable. They will fight us until we show them that it will be more profitable for them to JOIN us.
ReplyDeleteYour wrong we are not replaceable our skills are great the reason there has always been a shortage of drivers is because like athletes there are only those that are truly good that make it,eventually the ones that don't get what it takes to be a trucker will have to many accidents,that will cost them there license or will give it up because they can't handle the pressure. So that's the reason they are always short on drivers.The skilled truck drivers know it and know what it takes. Those skilled drivers and those coming in that are the few that will get what it takes to become great drivers don't sell yourself short,
ReplyDeleteAccidents are deductible high wages are not duh
DeleteAccidents are deductible high wages are not duh

ReplyDeleteWHO WILL BE THE NEXT BRAVE ONE TO LEAD NAT? JOHN BOWEN LAST DAY WAS FRIDAY 6/3/16. JOHN RESIGNED, PEOPLE MGRS ARE NOT EXEMPT.THEY HAVE TO MAKE THEIR MONTHLY QUOTAS.

ReplyDeleteI guess it will be another Conway after all it seems like half of the nation's employees of X-CONWAY NOW XPO LOGISTICS
ReplyDeletemost of them will never Learn what it is to have a better future or better life just where they are at simply by having a Union to back them up for the People by the People, but then the . Intolerant of Stupidity will always Dominate oneselfs to Defeat in their own Opinion or Minds.
Its Called Ignorance!!!!
Knowing you can all have a better future you would all Settle for mediocrity, Let's just leave it like that!
Bunch of F*****ken Loosers why don't you ask Brad Jacobs how Smart he is and while your asking him so tell him how does it feel to have a CONTRACT!!

UNION ALL THE WAY!
ladies and Gentlemen just to let you all know the truth about why all of you actually got a raise back on Jan 4th, 2015 of a $2.00 or in this matter every Terminal got their Raises$$$ whatever they were, PS: Miami DSR's are making
ReplyDelete$25.41 an Hour. and we want you to (NEVER FORGET) why all of you got your Raises, it was because of the Miami Terminal going Union and getting Certified by the NLRB!! as a Union Terminal because of the way that X-Conway TM was treating us in their Favoritism & Discrimination and of course with no Integrity to ever back it up that's why our former TM had to go for all the Wrong doing to her own employee's but she didn't care and why Because she was STUFFING herself under the table with $$$$ and getting Rich in doing Wrong to the People that made her look good at the end of the Day! so she got what she Deserved, but hey here is something you probably didn't know or maybe you do? !THE COMPANY KNEW ABOUT IT AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!
So we ask all of you that have common scene,morals and Dignity to yourselves, are you going to let this happen again with XPO when the time comes???
we would hope Not! Understand 1 thing you have the Power to change your future not Mr Jacobs of XPO that has a Contract so ask him how does it feel to have a Contract Mr Jacobs?
Vote Union all the Way this is what Corporate America is Afraid of.
WE THE WORKING CLASS GOING UNION TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE & FUTURE,IF NOT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ( AN AT WILL EMPLOYEE IN A RIGHT TO WORK STATE.
WE THE PEOPLE REST OUR CASE.
One day all of XPO LTL Division employees will learn the hard way Mr Jacobs has acquired the LTL division of Con-way for 1 purpose and one purpose only and that is to get his money back, sell it for a better profit, XConway now Xpo LTL to the highest bidder or a reasonable market price. People you didn't learn the first time and you haven't learned again, how many times will it take for all of your assess to be sold for everyone to actually get the picture and realize that were all numbers to Mr. Jacobs he could care less who he Fires who he hires as long as it's bringing him the profit$$ back to the shareholders and the company, so you see my friends in the end we're all expendable because we are at-will employees in a right to work state which means we are all f*****ked. We the People rest our case.
