Conway's dirty tricks!

Conway's lawyers and union busters were at the ULX terminal trying to get statements from non supportive drivers to say that they were harassed or intimidated during the campaign. This is bullshit!! It's the same bullshit that they did in Laredo. It's time for us to stand up and punch our company in the gut !!!  We should all walk the fuck out and show Conway who has the power! 

Paul was having his goons spread the rumor that they were going to close down LX because we voted union. Bullshit ! Paul, you know damn well your breaking the law.

Conway management, we know now that WE have the power, we will win this!

Exclude Dockworkers

We need to contact local 104 and ask them how they petitioned fed ex for a driver only union and that's what we have to do. Today I asked a dock worker what he thought of the union flat out he said if the union comes in we are fired I was shocked to know this guy was a little clueless. After I informed him that it's against the law for Conway to fire u for wanting the union he said that that's what was told to him by management. Management is breaking the law by threatening people with dismissal if they try to put the union in. From now on every time you walk in the office or around a supervisor put your phone on record and record someone breaking the law like our friends in Laredo.

Harlingen Texas (LHG) Files For Union Representation

Congrats to the driver of Harlingen Tx (LHG) for filing their petition for UNION representation

An Open Letter To Greg Lehmkuhl and Neil Smith

Greg & Neil
In your latest propaganda letter ( Guarantees ) handed to us last night you state that the union has spread negative rumors about our future. We want to know what the FUCK you talking about?? The union has never spread negative rumors, they have never promised anything but the chance to negotiate a CONTRACT. Something BOTH of you have with Conway Freight Inc. Why are you trying to deny us that right ???

The union has never told us that the company will fire us, lay us off, or disciplined for supporting or opposing the union, in fact they informed us that we a PROTECTED by federal rights to organize a union at Conway. The only threats of firings, discipline or layoff are coming from your management team and the non-union supporters they have sent to spread that fear and intimidation.

We can all laugh at you for this one! YOU can guarantee that we will be treated with DIGNITY AND RESPECT !!!! You come in from the marble palace for a few days and know what the daily operation of our service centers are ???  We all know that these morons running our centers DO NOT treat us with DIGNITY AND RESPECT !!!

We are glad you "guarantee" that the wages YOU promised the DRIVERS will be implemented in  2015. But why weren't the dock workers included in that wage increase? And why didn't you guarantee that our hours are not going to be cut, or our health care won't be increased ??? You think we don't know that you can guarantee all these things but it's not a legal binding contract!!! Why didn't you have it notarized ??? We know the bullshit your trying to feed us!

And WE WILL ALL be glad to pay union dues for the DIGNITY AND RESPECT you claim we have now.

Can YOU guys guarantee that you will still BE EMPLOYED by Conway Freight Inc. to abide by your signed guarantee ??  Your signatures won't mean shit if you guys get fired or choose to take your golden parachute! Why don't you save the ink and negotiate a good contract with the Teamsters and put those signatures in a TEAMSTER CONTRACT!

A CONTRACT is a legal binding document that you can't back out of regardless if you guys get fired, a contract will stand regardless.

A CONTRACT will guarantee that you will treat us with DIGNITY AND RESPECT!

A CONTRACT will guarantee that our wages will not be taken away and will only increase from the 27.10 that you have GUARANTEED!

                                                   WE WANT A UNION CONTRACT
                                                            "we won't settle for less"
