CARHAUL DEPARTMENT
Labor voices: Avoid cut-rate car haulers
| detnews.com | The Detroit News
A new website has
been launched to keep Car Buyers informed about how
the Bailed out Auto Giants are ripping off American
Consumers.
Washington --
Union car haulers are angry with Chrysler Group LLC for shifting some
work to nonunion companies to save money, and they fear General Motors
Co. may follow suit. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters says
moves by Chrysler and by GM, if the automaker takes the same action,
will put many of the union's 5,000 hauling jobs at risk, including up to
1,500 in Michigan. The companies, which both filed for bankruptcy this
year, strongly deny they are trying to put union haulers out of
business, but say rates must be competitive.

Craft Meeting
by: Avral Thompson
As you know we have
been having quarterly meetings for carhaul members. For the ones of you
who have attended you are aware that we use these meetings as a way for
drivers, mechanics, yard employees, and me to discuss issues that
generally affect us all. I give reports on the recent panels decisions
and upcoming meetings. I need you to give ideas on how we can better
operate as members and as a union. I would like to thank all who have
attended in the past and that all try to attend in the future.
T.S.I. Bowling Green
by: Avral Thompson
I had reported
in the earlier issues that G.M. had marked eight Teamster locations to
be put up for bid, one being our location in Bowling Green. At this
location we have five members on the yard seniority list. I have
recently been notified by T.S.I. management that only one location was
lost and T.S.I. had secured the work in Bowling Green keeping good
Teamsters jobs.
