The FedEx Watch Dog Want You To Know ...
There is a letter being posted by management about the closures of Reddaway terminals in selected areas across the United States. This is a two page letter from YRC’s CEO Bill Zollars. It mentions that after the purchase of Reddaway / Bestway, things have not gone well with these divisions of YRC. In the letter, which is only a single page being posted up; does not mention anything about the Teamster being at fault.
Now these terminals are unionized. Tyson Johnson of the Teamster said,” These are difficult times for our members, but the Teamster are to help.” Looks to us that YRC’s management has made some bad decisions in this merger, and were not thinking about its employees, until now.
Remember back in the early 90’s when Viking had purchased a group of companies outside our original 14 western states? Well when that brilliant ideal fell apart. Viking just closed those terminals, and let all those people go! Who did they have to blame than? The Union?
Corporate greed and narrow thinking have put most of the burden again on the people who really make a company successful “the Employees”.
THE TIME TO ORGANIZE IS NOW!
BE WISE AND ORGANIZE!

A Message From Joe And Rudy ...
Let’s stop complaining, let’s do something about it,
join the Teamsters, and make a difference.
Remember this is a non-union company and there is
nothing we can do about it, without a union, we have
no voice, sure you could complain to human resource
but some of us seen the true side of H.R, all it does
it puts you in the blacklist book.
As for now the only thing we have in our favor is the
Labor commission, and in California we have other
provision, California labor law code and sec# of our
Rights.
Remember when management mistreat employees there is
no respect from those employees and to solve this
problem is to join the Teamsters. Remember in the
house where a father runs the house and sets rules, it
is follow, the father addresses the house rules with
kindness, dignity and respect and those kids respect
the father and obeys the house rules.
Now when a father mistreats those kids everyday there
is no respect for the father and no moral standard,
and no rules to follow. So how do those kids solve
their problem?
They seek professional help from a family
psychologist; the psychologist hears the problems at
home and then the psychologist analyze the issues.
Once analyze the psychologist present the solutions to
the father and addresses to the family what needs to
be work on to make a happy family!
Now this is the same with us employees we seek for
help from the Teamsters; we analyze our problems and
issues when we attend our union meetings, we get
educated of our Rights and discuss our solutions that
we could present to FedEx once we choose to vote for
the Teamsters.
Now those that don’t have a clue about the Teamster
and never attended a union meeting. Stop complaining,
make a difference, go to a union meeting and hear the
truth and get educated. Attend some labor classes
at Los Angeles tech trade college in L.A, and if your
interested talk to your service center union
committee.
Don’t fall for those lies that FedEx feeds you about
the unions on the bulletin boards, just look at the
top of the propaganda Industrial News, its FedEx
editors (H.R) who writes this. So when you see these
bulletin boards trashing the Teamsters, ask
management for a copy and if they give you one write the
name of the manager who gave it to you on the back.
Remember FedEx preaches that you can’t discuss
anything about Teamster on company time or work areas.
So when a manager holds a captive meeting on the
clock
and talks about Teamsters; shame on him and shame on
you, you are breaking company policy you and the
the manager that are stealing company time.
Your allow as an employee to talk about the Teamsters
in the break room when you are off the clock or away
from work areas and also the person that you are
discussing with must be off the clock.
Remember ladies and gentlemen release your fear and
have no apathy. Feel free to get involve in the Labor
movement, let’s be wise and organize! Attend your next
meeting.
Organizing Begins With You. Tag Your It!
