11-14-11

Today a FedEx dockworker of 23 years gets fired in SLG (Vernon California) He was fired because another employee went to management and told them that Sal Hernandez was telling the dockworkers to make sure they write up all exceptions and discrepancy when unloading trailers, so that managers have something to do!

On Wednesday 11-09-11, Sal was ask to surrender his badge and keys and was escorted off FedEx property, until further notice. As he was being escorted off; he asks the manager who falsely accuse him of this hearsay. And that he had his rights to confront his accuser to prove him for his wrong doing. Managers reply was, he was not at liberty to say who it was, and that Sal had no representation of any kind to be allowed for this kind of Rights.

Today Monday, Sal was ask to come in at 10:30 am, and was told he was terminated for misconducts!!! Sal has been standing up for his Rights to form a union at his workplace, since 2006, and now FedEx has retaliated on him. If we had union representation, Sal would have had his Rights for a union steward to be present; Sal would have Rights to file a grievance against FedEx for allowing hearsay. Without the Teamsters and no Union representation, WE ARE AT WILL EMPLOYEES…

If manager stated to Sal, that he had no representation of any kind, that shows manager ridiculed and mock Sal, meaning it was retaliation for Sal union activities.

Sal should of dienied everything and it would of been his word against the accussers word then they would of meet face to face. and besides thats what a good dock workers does to find out where the problem of a piece of damaged frieght comes from.I hope he sues fed ex and the Manager and the supervisor too!and fucks them good....and i know he will stay focused at getting a Union there. Wake Up Fed Ex employees and start getting involved and learn your rights to become good Teamsters..

Sal was fired for organizing plain and simple. This Fedex Freight company is dispicable in its unfair labor practices. Joe Nuno gets fired Jesse Lopez now Sal Hernandez. This is not a coincidence. Hopefully this will be settled in a court of law and justice will prevail. These were all good men who cared about their job and are now terminated because they were pro Union pro Teamster employees. Fedex is a complete joke.
