“I
have been a member of Teamsters Local 25 since my co-workers
and I voted for the Teamsters in 2005. They have been
a breath of fresh air for us. Our managers have backed
off and now just let us do our jobs. I would urge anyone
with the opportunity to vote for the Teamsters to VOTE “Yes ” !
--- Bobby Aguier - Steward Thyssenkrupp/Safway
Braintree, MA |
“I
work in the trash industry as a member of Teamsters
Local 25 at Waste Management. I thank God everyday
that I have this union behind me in my workplace. Do
your self and your families a favor and VOTE “Yes” for
Teamsters Local 25 ”

“I
work hard for my money and benefits hauling cars across
New England. I want a strong union like Teamsters Local
25 behind me when management decides that they don’t
like me anymore. Without a union in your workplace
the company can do whatever it wants to you without
recourse. That is unfair! Give Local 25 a chance to
represent you, you won’t regret it”
--- Rich Sherlock – Teamsters Local
25 Car Haul Division. |
“I
work in the Freight Industry at New Penn Motor Express
in Billerica, MA. I have seen my company mismanage
itself almost into extinction. I recently had to make
the tough decision to take a 10% wage cut to keep the
company alive. The Teamsters stood by us and let us
make the decision for ourselves. The leadership at
Teamsters Local 25 is smart and dedicated, and would
never try to hurt one of their signature companies.
Do the right thing for your families and VOTE “Yes” for
Teamsters Local 25.”
--- Tim Halloran - Steward New
Penn Motor Express Billerica, MA |

“I
can’t say enough about our representation by
Teamsters Local 25. At U.S. Foods in Everett, MA, we
have 190 Drivers and Warehousemen. The union treats
us equally whether you are a driver or a warehousemen.
My job is very hard like yours, I deliver frozen
food to restaurants and schools. My advice to you is
to stand up and get the respect you deserve. VOTE “Yes” for
Teamsters Local 25.”
Paul Mathi – Steward U.S. Foodservice Everett,
MA |
“I
am new to Teamsters Local 25. I have been a member
since 2008. My colleagues and I make very good money
at Kraft Power. Some of us make almost $30.00 per hour.
Sometimes it is not about the money. It is about how
you are treated in the workplace. Give the Teamsters
a chance. We did and we don’t regret it.”
VOTE “Yes ”!
--- Dave Pierce – Kraft Power Woburn,
MA |

ATTENTION DRIVERS and HELPERS…
Your Employee Rights:
The National Labor Relations Act extends
rights to many private-sector employees including the right
to organize and bargain with their employer collectively.
Employees covered by the Act are protected from certain types
of employer and union misconduct and have the right to attempt
to form a union where none currently exists.
Examples of Your Rights As An Employee
Under the NLRA Are:
- Forming, or attempting to form, a
union among the employees of your employer.
- Joining a union whether the union
is recognized by your employer or not.
- Assisting a union in organizing your
fellow employees.
- Engaging in protected
concerted activities. Generally, "protected
concerted activity" is group activity which seeks
to modify wages or working conditions. (workers talking
to workers)
Examples of Employer Conduct Which Violate
the NLRA Are:
- Threatening employees with loss of
jobs or benefits if they join or vote for a union or
engage in protected concerted activity.
- Threatening to close the plant if
employees select a union to represent them.
- Questioning employees about their
union sympathies or activities in circumstances that
tend to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees
in the exercise of their rights under the Act.
- Promising benefits to employees to
discourage their union support.
- Transferring, laying off, terminating,
assigning employees more difficult work tasks, or otherwise
punishing employees because they engaged in union or
protected concerted activity.
- Transferring, laying off, terminating,
assigning employees more difficult work tasks, or otherwise
punishing employees because they filed unfair labor practice
charges or participated in an investigation conducted
by NLRB.
The NLRA forbids employers from interfering
with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise
of rights relating to organizing, forming, joining or assisting
a labor organization for collective bargaining purposes,
or engaging in protected concerted activities, or refraining
from any such activity. Similarly, labor organizations
may not restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of
these rights.
(In the United States
of America you have a right to join a union.)
