Help Us Help You
How?
It's obvoius the situation at Fedex Freight isn't getting better,indeed ,with each passing day it's getting worse.
We all know that something must be done to restore and insure that our basic rights,respect and dignity are guaranteed in the corporate world that appears bent on taking them away from us.
The Teamsters are positioning themselves to address the situation with Fedex.However, they need your support.Remember if you aren't at the table you're on the menu.
And,yes it's a numbers game;the more we indicate to the Teamsters that we intend to organize to have our rights and working conditions regulated by a contract the more motivated the Teamsters will be to pursue those goals.
Here's how we can help you.
Realizing that not everyone can or wants to be on the front lines of the effort,we never the less need your support. If you support the organizing efforts at Fedex Freight but wish to remain anonymous communicate with me.I'll forward your name to a Teamster organizer who will contact you with further information about organizing,information on what a contract will mean and,most importantly,dispell rumors that abound about the Teamsters.Most importantly,it will indicate your desire to be treated fairly with a negotiated contract and restore sanity and stability to our workplace and personal lives.
If you will forward your name,telephone number and terminal(service center) to me I'll forward it to the appropriate Teamster's representative or office (Local) who will contact you concerning your questions and level of support while allowing you to remain anonymous.
I will not add your identity to any data base.I will,with your permission, include you on my e-mail list.
That's it. All you have to do is communicate.

Catholic Scholars Support Employee Free Choice Act
by Seth Michaels, Jun 29, 2009
A group of leading Catholic scholars is adding their voices to the coalition supporting the Employee Free Choice Act.
Organized by Catholic Scholars for Worker Justice, dozens of religious leaders, professors and scholars from a wide variety of institutions have signed on to a statement in support of the Employee Free Choice Act and the freedom of workers to form unions and bargain. This diverse group of Catholic thinkers agrees that our broken system needs new law to protect these basic workers’ rights.
Employee Free Choice is “rooted in and supported by” Catholic social teaching, these religious scholars note in their statement:
The Magisterium of the Catholic Church recognizes “the fundamental role played by labor unions, whose existence is connected with the right to form associations or unions to defend the vital interests of workers employed in the various professions.” Indeed, the Catholic Church holds that unions “are a positive influence for social order and solidarity, and are therefore an indispensible element of social life.”
Our current law, they agree, denies workers their basic freedom to form unions and bargain, and we need new law that ensures that key decisions about forming unions are in the hands of workers, where they belong.
These Catholic scholars are part of a strong and growing coalition of religious leaders and faith groups that supports the Employee Free Choice Act.
