Conway Union Now!

[CouldBeBetter]

When is enough finally enough? Let's debate this on a serious level. If someone is not for the union then please explain why you are concerned or the reason you are against. Someone is going too form a union soon and I honestly can't think of any reason we shouldn't?

They won't shut the company down if we go union and if so there will be plenty of jobs available! They have taken so much in the past few years do you really think we will ever get something back? With a union I think we would be a stronger company and keep employees longer. The turnover of employees is because of the working condition. If we get a union we can finally have a say in those working conditions. Remeber, Pension, Sick days, Long term full pay disability and now 62 MPH. Tell me why we shouldn't go union? The way I see it we have nothing too lose!!!!

No hiding either or false votes. This is a PUBLIC vote for Conway drivers.

Difficult to vote, I'm not sure the timing is right. On one hand I fear we'll get our asses kicked and on the other I wonder what a bind moving in that direction would put on them with this bridge loan hanging over their heads. Question is, do they have avenues other than the ltl division to generate enough money to meet the loan due date?

could a union help with some things? yes probably, will they help you go 65, hmmm doubt it, will they set the idle time back up, or turn it off completly,hmmmm doubt it, sick days, well last yellow driver I talked with when they changed our sick days, the unions are the same, could it help with working conditions, well heat and a dry dock would be nice on the dock, probably wont get that either, I am not for , not against the union, just not sure what they would do other than take our dues, and puff everyones chest out, worked for a union company (teamsters) 15 years ago, big pension they paid me out on there, whole $1200 after 9 years, momma finally got shoes

You are amazing sir! Are you from planet earth? What in the hell do you expect for 9 years of service? 1200 is a hell of a lot more than you would receive after working 30 years at a non union company. Elvis out and baffled....

well I am glad that roughly 150 a year for each year of service seems like a windfall to you, if thats what a union person feels is fantastic then i guess i am not from the planet earth, im not a wizard but my 401 is growing at 17 % beats the 1200 all to heck

Are you a current Conway employee with under 6 years in? If so your conway pension will be $0.00 a month!
