Brothers,

General chairman Carr and UP have been working on a new modification agreement . There is some good, and some bad.

Since there is no end in sight for this Virus we will be setting up a zoom meeting for our August Union meeting so we can talk about the possible changes. We will vote on it after we discuss it. make sure Brother Hess (engineerbrian@msn.com) has your current email address

We will email you a copy of the proposed agreement tomorrow

please call if you have any questions

Brothers,

 

The Teamsters along with SEIU, CWA and a coalition of social justice groups will stand in solidarity with workers across the country for a national day of worker actions on July 20 to declare Black Lives Matter and to demand social and economic justice.

At noon on July 20 for 8 minutes and 48 seconds Teamsters employees will walk off their respective jobs.

However, As Railroad employees we fall under the Railway Labor act and this would be no different than any other non sanctioned wildcat stike or illegal Job action. We can not participate . we cant stop trains.

General Chairman Carr has contacted Rod Doerr and he said the UP would not allow us to participate and they would sue us if we did.

Now if you are not working and would like to join a local rally or march (hopefully with a mask on) there is a caravan of Teamsters leaving at 11am @ 5080 Obama blvd Los Angels Ca 90016

Brothers,

We thought we would be able to have a meeting this month but with the recent spike in cases, Teamsters joint council 42 decided to extend their closure. We will not be having a meeting for July.

Im available for any questions or issues.

Brothers,

I spoke to Local management and the Nailand heat Van’s are ordered for June 15 2020. Please stay well hydrated in the meantime and if you have any issues, please contact the local managers and ask for some assistance. Heat stroke is serious and its deadly.

Be safe

Paulo

Brothers,

 

I’m sure your all aware of the rioting and looting in our city tonight. The Mayor has issued a Curfew  and  declared a state of emergency. The national guard has been called out and will be out in force tonight.

I’ve received multiple calls as how we should proceed If called to work. The curfew specifically states your exempt if traveling to or from work. Just be careful and be safe.

Please  contact  me if you have any issues.

 

Fraternally

Paulo
