“The excitement is high here in St. Louis, where we are concerned about job security, a merger and fairness in the workplace. We need a Teamster contract to address these issues. I urge all my co-workers to get involved now.”
“Throughout the system, and especially in Newark, we’re concerned about job security. As Teamsters, our job security will strengthen.”
“The company cut our uniform allocation by $100 a year. This is just another example of a company cut that occurs because we don’t have a voice like the mechanics. We need that same Teamster power.”
“The company took away holidays and we haven’t gotten them all back. This is why we need a Teamsters contract.”
“The company keeps talking about the ‘Fly to Win’ handbook, but we need real protections. We need a Teamster contract now.”
“The company cut our pay and, unlike the mechanics, we haven’t gotten the cuts restored. We need to have a strong voice as Teamsters.”
“We lost 24 hours of sick time a year. That’s three days. That’s huge when you think of the times you are too sick to come to work. We need a Teamsters contract.”
“Between benefits and pay, we lost 18 to 19 percent back in 2005, and we still don’t have a lot of that back, unlike the mechanics who have been fully restored. For example, we lost our shift differential for the second and third shifts, which means less pay.”
“Our time for a strong voice, respect and dignity on the job will soon be here. I urge all my co-workers to sign a Teamsters authorization card now. Let’s stand together and win the strength we deserve as Teamsters.”
“I was in Washington, D.C. recently fighting to help reform the National Mediation Board election process. I have seen first hand the political clout of the Teamsters. As Teamsters, we will soon have clout on the job every day.”
