I got a letter in the mail today from Richmond from Jack H. the UPS Freight Senior VP of Operations. The letter talks about the Teamsters and the AWPA.
"The letter is intended to help you deal with the untruths spread by Teamster locals who have conducted themselves in suck a irresponsible way."
The letter says that "there is no current card check agreement with the Teamsters or any other labor organization. The one prior agreement ended when the Indianapolis facility's card check was validated and recongnized. Simply put, anyone stating that there is a current card check agreenent is not telling you the truth."
"Some locals across the country have been telling employees there will be a Master Teamster Agreement, accompanied by regional supplements for UPS Freight. This is not true."
The letter goes on too tell the the AWPA has filed a petition withe the NLRB on Monday, June 25 seeking the represent our partners in Kansas City. That "the majority to the employees will ultimately have the right to decide in a secret ballot whether they want the AWPA to represent them." "I do not believe the APWA will succeed in this endeavor" The AWPA "relies on the same rhetoric and empty promised in its attempt to find members and build its bank accounts with dues and initiation fees."
