TForce | Dealing with managers

I always use my DIAD to communicate any issues I have.
I text them if I will be held up at a customer and they reply with a "10-4"
If they print the DIAD entries I am covered.

I know a driver that documented everything he ever did. It started to cut into his production time and he was eventually terminated for inefficiency. He never got his job back.
He showed me that notebook and he kept records for every darn thing that happened to him. What was said to him and what time it was said to him. Extreme? Not sure, but to each his own.
 
Can one of you Teamsters direct me to the Neutrality Agreement? I'm at a non-union shop, and was pulled over by a Mgr. and told I could not talk to the employees about the Union while at work. yet this same Mgr has had 2 meetings with City drivers and dock discussing with them the bad idea of this union and he also wanted to know who was talking in its favor, and thats why I was approched. Isnt this against some RULZS!

That is true...You are not allowed to organize on COMPANY TIME ! And YOUR MANAGER is NOT ALLOWED to say anything about the UNION , POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. HE should just shut up. He is in clear violation of the card check neutrality agreement. You should call your local as well as human rescources. You should consider becoming a member of the TEAMSTER brotherhood.
 
I have talked to my local and he had me put up a notice (on the employee bullention board)if anyone is intrerested in a meeting to sign up, it has been torn down EVERY day since Tue. I think I have been blacklisted, people walk away whenever I mention it. I'm thinking of giving up, Isnt there going to be a National vote, Last I heard there are only 139 terms unioized. what about the other 150!

Keep talking about the union, your terminal manager will get pissed because his authority to beat people will be taken away, call the local and human resources every day you are being harrassed and document what happened. Also if you have someone with balls, make sure someone is there to hear what is going on, you can use them as a witness.

This is against the law, he cannot in any way coerst you by threatening your job.It is illegal.

Follow this link. It explains quite a bit.

The company own's and controls what goes on the employee bullentin board so they have the right to remove whatever they want. What you need is a Teamster's Union Bulletin Board. The management can not touch Union information on the Union board.:1036316054:

yeah but you get that upon certification:duh:
 
The local said we would have a meeting in a couple of weeks, He said they were having a conference call with the IBT on what to do in our area. The city drivers at my barn are just not talking, Its either they dont know whats going on or Dont care, I'm a road driver so I dont get to talk to these guys much, I have made phone calls and just get the same ol' response.It's either Why? or I'm not interested or I was told by the T.M. not to talk to you, even though I'm off duty calling them at home. I know the T.M. has been trying to hide information, as far as a Union bullentin board, HA! cant do that till were under contract. Those have to have glass with locks, I have been told. I'm keeping up the fight.I would like to be more specific, but I know this is monitered.
 
I did with a couple of them, one is like Pissweed,(almost thought it was him) he wants his pension and 401k match, he will care about nothing else, he is very vocal and will not stop at anything unless he gets straight answers,and alot of the city drivers listen to him. Most post on this site (not all) are just guys bashing each other, he will tire very quickly with it ,like I have in the past.

Okay lets take a step back a bit, #1. the 401 is gone, if not for you guy's now, it will be, this money is going to the retirees INS. instaed of a $900.00 DED.\month, they now have a $500.00 DED\month after retirement.

I can almost say you can kiss the match in the 401 gone. Make sure the loud mouth knows that.

#2. being non union MGNT. does what they please, we allready have several greivances filed , and we have allready won 1 of them, this greivance was over a union pledge pin being worn in the city.

Now if top end MGNT. can argue over something so stupid to a union terminal, just think to what could happen too yours.

Do not be afraid of your TM, he cannot touch you.
