Straw-vote on teamster carhaul contract a resounding NO!
Local 327 Says NO!
Posted by: carslinger911 in Carhaul News
The Cassens Transport drivers out of local 327 in Nashville, Tn told there BA to stick it and made a verbal 100% no vote in meeting earlier this week. They will also have their ballots counted at the Smyrna, TN barn, for a sure count. This is what we all have to do, to assure us a true vote, because you know that there will be dead drivers, widowers, retired, and even management voting on this contract. I will be getting with some drivers that are going to organize a legal fund for us all, and supported by our donations. God knows we will be needing it, to investigate the clowns in D.C.

I don’t know how any Allied teamster can vote yes. The court documents state we would never be more than 15% less than the NMATA, which is wrong of course. It also stated Axis would be sold or unionized in 90 days from May 27th, 2007, which of course isn’t. Without a snapback clause, we are looking at a minimum 4 year concessionary deal. I hope all the blind faith teamsters vote this contract down, remember, we haven’t taken a strike vote yet or received the employers last, best and final offer. Let’s send the negoiaters back to negoiate a contract for all the carhaulers, not just trying to please 51%.
