Union Benefits

Your Retirement and Your Health Benefits are part of what your Union does for you. Many people across America spend their whole lives working and have nothing to show for it. You can look forward to a pension.

Every pay period, employers contribute money into your pension account as negotiated in Your Contract. Over time, the money adds up. Each company has different rules about the amount of money contributed, how many years you have to work, and how old you have to be before you can retire and collect your pension.

Most members of Local 63 are covered by the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan. The Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan is now on-line.

The Western Conference of Teamsters (WCT) Pension Plan was established in 1955 through collective bargaining between labor and management. Today your Plan is the largest area-wide multiemployer pension plan in the United States. It covers 200,000 active participants through pension agreements negotiated by local unions with more than 1,600 employers predominantly in 13 Western states.

Health Benefits
LOCAL 63 WORKS TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY AND STRONG

Many working people can't afford to get sick. Visits to the doctor can be expensive. A single night in the hospital can wipe out a family's savings. Members don't have these worries because every Union Contract contains medical benefits.

The Lies Union Buster Tell !!

At our meetings the union buster was pissed off because we posted how much money he makes. Well you have been exposed for the money hungry rat that you are. How could you live with yourself knowing your making money on keeping working people down!
Cruz no one believes your lies, we all know that your only reason for being at our yard is to trick people into believing your bullshit!

You claim Randy Cammack makes millions of dollars! You really think we believe that? You must think we are just some stupid drivers that are not tech savy. Well in this age of GOOGLE we have the information at our finger tips.
You make way more money doing way less.

You show us bits and pieces of the union constitution with probably just the parts that have nothing to do with organizing and try to pass them on as something that will affect us. Well your wasting your time and your wasting Conway's money.

Lets move on to the lies your saying about the Teamsters not representing us. I've talked to plenty of union drivers that have told me that when they get suspended or fired they have hearings in San Diego once a month. Your showing those few cases that the union couldn't win, well there are always 2 sides to every story, Your only saying the side of the guy that lost and blames the union for unfair representation. What if that driver was fired for something like stealing or drugs? Why and how would the union fight those cases?  Your and idiot and why try anything to make us believe your lies. Any representation would be better than what we have now!!
 So keep your bullshit we want a contract, we want job protections, we want better health coverage, WE will take the money, and we will also vote YES for the UNION !!  

Laredo Manager Butcher's Spanish and Union Facts

Conway is claiming they will file charges against the Teamsters for vandalism and intimidating employees to vote the union in. The Teamsters didn't come looking for us, we went looking for them. The only intimidation done was on Conway's part, they're the ones that should be staring down those charges. They are also getting petty about the voting process, saying that ballots were put into a cardboard box that was too small. They said that the vote was 55-53 when it was 55-49. Just tactics they are using to try and send a message to the rest of the terminals. They've been spreading the same old tired lie about Conway eastern (PYX penn yan express) being closed down because of the union. That is illegal, so that's not the reason that it closed. In fact, they like to say that the Teamsters are the reason for the closure of hundreds of carriers since the 80's. When in fact, it has been proven that deregulation of the trucking industry was the driving force behind that. Of course, the union busters won't say that. Conway should also be held accountable for trying to bribe the workers in Laredo by offering them a raise if they had voted the union down. They said they had found $40 million lying around and were going to give them a raise. Now, they are claiming they have $60 million available. These are obviously lies as that money has always been there. Even if they did hand out raises, without a contract they would just steal it back when they feel like it, just like our vacations.

Union Buster Lupe Cruz from Cruz and Associates

Lupe Cruz the Union Buster who is busy trying to convince us at Conway why we don't need a union, that all they want is our money. That we have to adhere to the Teamsters Constitution, that it states that we will have to go on strike if the Teamsters demand it! That's all bullshit! We know that we have to vote on going on strike, We know that everything that the union dues for it's members is voted on by the membership.
 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! 

Union Busters set Camp

                                                            

Okay brothers… the war has started! Union busters are setting up their headquarters at ULX. Prepare yourself, take notes and write down everything they say. Lie and fear tactics are the weapons they will use to discourage you.  Keep checking this blog; we will be posting every lie here

Union busting is a multi-million dollar industry to take away your rights, they also call themselves “union avoidance”   their goal is to take away the chance to vote for union representation. They will be holding captive meetings, forcing employees into one on one meeting with supervisors. This union busters and Conway management will break the law using fear and coercion to discourage you from voting "YES" to form a union.
