Anti-union Well and Alive at Laredo

Vote “yes” don’t let this anti union tactics scare you. Voting “yes “will impact our life and our families in a positive way if we get a pension and better health benefits

Laredo will not be the only location unionizing there’s no mistake. California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Alabama, Washington and others to come

Pension Plan vs. 401K

This comes from a Teamster that has accumulated 8 years in a pension plan. Notice that he has accumulated close to $12,000 a year upon his retirement. Meaning that if he chose to stop working for this union carrier right now, he would get $12,000 a year once he meets requirements and decides to retire. This employee will keep putting more money into his pension and should he keep employed and get to a 30-year career he could retire with close to $40,000 a year coming in after retirement. How's that 401k looking now?????

Race Game

Laredo, TX employees recently signed cards to petition the NLRB for union representation. The LSX terminal in San Antonio held a meeting with their employees to tell them that the employees at Laredo who signed cards didn't know what they were signing because they don't know how to speak, write, or read english. They're trying to play the race card to persuade their own employees not to do the same thing. Conway is scum and we must remember that when they spew their lies. This is not an issue to do with race, this is an economic issue. This is about us fighting back against Conway's corporate greed. Let's keep this in mind when we vote at Laredo on September 12th.

LAREDO, TX Voting for UNION Representation

Good news for our movement! Next month the Laredo, TX terminal will have an election to gain union representation! It's taken a long time to get to this point but we are here. This is the time when we have to be the strongest. Conway will come out in full force to try and sway our votes. They will sweet talk us, say they will give us the world, heck, and they might even offer us money to vote the union down. These are all false promises. If we fall for their lies and don't vote the union in, we can expect them to clean house and most of us will be out of work. We are not alone in this fight; a FedEx Freight terminal in New Jersey is also going to be voting soon. They're in the same boat as we are. This is the start of something big at both companies! Time to start taking back what is ours!

More Company Lies

Management at the Laredo, TX terminal is doing anything they can to convince their labor to say no to the union. Among the list of many ridiculous and illegal lies, they've added a few. They are saying that if the union comes in they will fire all dock workers because the union doesn't allow dock only employees. The company has also said that everyone gets to vote in the election, including temps and as absurd as it sounds, the cleaning crew. They've also begun to punish dock only temps that want to be put on "full-time" by not allowing them to get their CDL once put on and not giving them any benefits. This terminal will be the front line as we try to unionize this company. Once we get to a vote here, it will include office, dock, city drivers and line drivers. Temps don't count as they don't work for the company. Although once unionized there wouldn't be any more temps. Wages will go up, insurance premiums will go down, stress will go down, and job security will go up.
