Management Running Scared ...

There was some petitioning today at our Gardena terminal by Local 952.The reception from most of the employee's was very impressive.All but a couple of employee's did not take the information being passed out.

Fontana will be having meetings tomorrow, most likly to debunk any rumors, or like we like to call it " union contol" maybe about what has happen in recent weeks.

If any mentioning of union by management at these meetings occurs. Let your union reps. at your terminals know. Take notes and names of who are with you at your meeting. It is against the "Law "for the company to talk or even mention any union !

If we stand together we will be the next ltl company to be called "FedEx Teamsters" !

So how is it the COMPANY can't take PRO or CON about the UNION?

But when one of you guys are on a break or off the clock--Sitting at the Gate in Fontana, you guys can talk all you want?

Just asking!

It the law's that protects organizes in the work place. As far as the company talking to employees. They have their meetings without the organizers being around and show anti union videos also.
We know this has happened and if anyone could stand up and go to the labor board with this information, they would be protected by these laws.

Here's the deal...Get Jimmy Hoffa and a few bus loads of teamsters to go to TEXAS.

Larry Miller, Mike Moss--AKA "Mr. Attitude", Pat Reed and Doug Duncan will all be at the hotel this week.

Best day would probably be Tuesday or Wednesday. There will be about 2500 employees---all Sales and Operations are required to attend.

Thanks for the information its a good idea but, our main focus is to have the I.B.T. show more of a presence with the employees and get them to learn the positive issues about becoming Teamsters.
Don't worry Fred and company knows whats happening.

YES GREG WAS A DRIVER AND A DRIVER TRAINER AND A DISPATCHER AND NOW HE'S WHAT WE CALL AN O.M. THIS CLOWN FOUND HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP SOMEHOW. HE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS POSISTION. BUT FEDEX SEEMS TO FIND THIS TYPE OF MANAGERS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT LIKE THE OLD VIKING DAYS WHEN WE HAD REAL MANAGERS AND LEADERS THAT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT EVERYONE. IM SURE OTHER SERVICE CENTERS HAVE THERE CLOWNS TOO. I HAVE HEARD SOME GOOD ONES ABOUT SUPERVISORS IN IRVINE AND GARDENIA. IT SEEMS LIKE ANYONE CAN BE A CLOWN THESE DAYS. ANYWAY, WERE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN AND CHANGE THIS COMPANY FOR THE BETTER. TEAMSTERS ARE ABOUT TO COME FROM EVERY DIRECTION REAL SOON. SIGN THOSE CARDS AND GO GET INFORMED AT THE NEXT MEETING. WHITTER AND FONTANA MAY BE THE FRONT RUNNERS BUT WE NEED EVERYONE ELSE TO JOIN OUR MOVEMENT AND BE THERE WHEN IT COUNTS.
