And not just cameras, but audio (microphones) too! No more privacy while talking on your cell phone in the tractor (while not driving of course) on on the dock?! ABF management has already targeted who they will get rid of for "theft of company time" if this is passed. A lot of them are on truckingboards too!Well, I admit I read the contract proposal Wrong. I thought the pension was going to be left alone and I thought my 3rd week vacation I was suppose to get in Aug was safe too. I was wrong.
This is a no vote for me. I would have been ok if it were just a 7% pay cut.
The pay cut alone would have saved ABF 20 or 30 million. That should have been enough.
And possibly camera's in the truck? Big no no!
Today's action by the Teamster locals comes as Arkansas Best told employees that failure to ratify the agreement could pave the way for a purchase by rival YRC Worldwide Inc. and could spell a "very uncertain" future for the company and its workers.
Honey guess what- i paid 800 dollars to become a teamster.and i get to pay them 60 dolla a month to work, and best of all i get two weeks vacation in 8 years isnt that great !
Don't believe the scare tacticsTentative ABF, Teamster contract calls for subcontracting of driver work, pension freeze – DC Velocity
There is nothing worse then that happening
Franky, I find it insulting that ABF and the IBT spent a good bit of their time codifying surveillance language. Really?....This is a big problem? Or....is the knuckleheads on the IBT negotiating team doing just what Brother Freightmaster says.....setting up the groundwork so ABF can eliminate any "troublemakers" who speak up. Honestly, Mr. Sweeton,....Mr. Johnson......have you guys been out of the workforce so long,...breathing that rarified air in D.C.....that you would actually sign your names to a Union contract that contained the words " Not Corroborated" in it? And.....just how much of the money they will steal off of us will go to new technology to do surveillance on us? Well.....I know I'm on their list. I'm a Steward....Greensburg 310, in Pennsylvania,....for all you company Quislings who are writing this down... I refuse to leave my Constitutional Rights of Free Speech at the company time clock.......and if you have to set up a kangaroo court.....with Non-Corroborated evidence to silence me.........I would say something about your consciense......and morality......but it would just go right over your heads. How about this, all you Bible Belters in Fort Smith?..."Ye Will Be Judged By Your Works And Deeds."
