Not sure why you interpret my post as this being a forgery. Also I take issue with your comments about right to privacy, using likeness, etc..
As far as I can research, there are no laws that say we cannot be video taped, It only states "In areas of reasonable expectation of privacy, such as restrooms, locker rooms, etc.. Their are many references to video of property and we would be operating in ABF property. We are video taped in lots, driver rooms and docks now.. How are trucks different. Using our likeness would mean putting our likeness out to public without permission.
As far as Ernie Sohls letter, I never said it was fake, I said ABF is disregarding it and putting their cameras in use. There is no language that says they cant.. If so present it to me.
Dont get me wrong, I am totally against and feel we should have specific language as to No Cameras, Period.. But I feel you are spreading disinformation and that Our Union can and will do something about this..
Then if the letter is not.....forged/photoshopped,.......it is an official correspondence from the Teamsters....
...I do not know if it is from Ernie Soehl...The bottom signature part of the letter(required...)...is missing.
The only "disinformation" being spread, apparently,...is from ArcBest,...in having "informational" meetings without Union representation present.
There are plenty of laws concerning your Right of Privacy,....based on the Fourth Amendment's "reasonable expectation to be secure in their PERSONS, houses, papers, and effects..."
Since cameras weren't invented then,.....the interpretation is based on several decades-old Supreme Court decisions....
You're quoting NMFA contractual language, as far as "locker rooms" and such....That's not law......And,....when a new requirement of employment,...such as adding driver-facing cameras, and having drivers ACCEPT them,...appears,....that condition MUST be negotiated, as it is a violation of NLRB law to....change "conditions of employment" on existing employees.
If, as you say,....ABF/ArcBest is going to ignore the letter from the Teamsters, and institute use of the cameras,....then that would be grounds for several actions by the Teamsters,....grievances, Labor Board charges,...possibly "not bargaining in Good Faith" charges,....maybe even Legal charges.
Frankly, I think if ABF/ArcBest was going to...."ignore"....any letter from the Teamsters,...they would just do it,....and not bother to announce some arbitrary future date on which the "ignoring" will start.
They are NOT sure of their legal standing, as regards the driver-facing cameras....Proof of that....is the Yellow Tape.......
