In fact, most Americans can be punished, even fired, for being too attractive, or too short, or having the wrong politics — or for no reason at all. But don’t employers need a good reason to fire people? If you’re in a union, then the answer is yes. Generally speaking, union workers can be fired only for 'just cause,' so there has to be a good reason. But nonunionized, at-will workers can be fired for bad reasons, or no reason at all." — Evan Horowitz, The Boston Globe<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353456924944787053.post-14085146984696824152015-10-18T17:27:27.473-07:002015-10-18T17:27:27.473-07:00UNION RIGHTS ARE WORKER RIGHTS:

This is not anti-American at all, but is the very essence of the right of all citizens to join forces for their common good. It is a method that has been used by the disenfranchised since the beginning of time to fight for their rights, and is often the only recourse that they have." — Sanjay Sanghoee, author<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353456924944787053.post-5644768841885766952015-10-18T17:22:32.101-07:002015-10-18T17:22:32.101-07:00UNION POWER: "Skilled workers build our homes...UNION POWER: "Skilled workers build our homes, teach our kids, keep our streets safe, and maintain our roads and bridges. In Missouri, skilled union labor builds the best-selling truck in America, the Ford F-150, and the 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the Year, the Chevy Colorado. Union hands build the F/A-18, the nation’s first strike-fighter that continues to fight terror and protect our servicemen and women around the globe. Today, with our economy driven by the strength of the middle class, giving workers the freedom to make their voices heard is more important now than ever before." — Governor Jay Nixon (D-MO)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353456924944787053.post-46545672288111454422015-10-18T17:21:01.860-07:002015-10-18T17:21:01.860-07:00Watch your politicians.

I got cards signed, I went to union meetings, spoke out against management, anti union coworkers and the union busters. I signed a notice of organizing a union and had it sent to my SCM. I fought the good fight for the union. But I was fired from conway on trumped up chargers. The union I supported filed a nrlb case with a shit load of evidence to support me in getting my job back but the nlrb sided with conway. The union I supported did have me work with them for a few months while waiting to see what happened with my nlrb case so I did have money coming in. The union did have my back I can say that. But I don't have any faith in the nlrb and I think the union handled the organizing of my former conway barn very poorly. I don't think the union has the man power or knowledge to go after LTL companies such as conway and FedEx. Needless to say I work for FedEx freight now but I don't think I'd do it again and try to get the union at my new FedEx barn. Not because I don't believe that the union isn't best for the working man and the company has my best interest at heart but because I don't believe the union knows how to get it done against these big powerful LTL companies and no backing from the nlrb I just can't be another casualty in the war union vs company. I have nothing but respect for the union and my fellow coworkers that stuck their necks out as I did in tying to get a union at Conway but speaking from the front line and have been through the war and seeing both sides of it till I see a better plan from the unions on going after these companies I'll be laying low at FedEx freight.

As I see it, Conway is in the same situation as Cablevision. Cablevision was sold to Altice for $17.7 billion. It don't look good for the Cablevision workers. But only the workers that voted the Union in are protected. Here is a video clip of what the Brooklyn Union workers are saying. I hope Conway drivers will realize that without a union you have no protection. Don't wait until it's too late.
