I just talked to the vice-president of the Teamsters local about our desire to form a union. He assigned their full-time union organizer to the case. He's calling me in the morning. It's fucking on! We're doing this. Apparently the first step is to form a campaign committee.
This will need leadership from both the drivers and the warehouse workers, to keep the movement together in the face of the inevitable backlash by management when we ask for recognition. We're in the unique position to have communists leading both (I'm nominating the new girl).
The drivers I talked to just this morning about it (before this call) nominated me to lead the committee, that's why I say communists could be leading both sides of the workplace in this campaign
Btw I also found out our long-distance drivers are all contractors, so we don't even need their votes - it's just like 20 people total. 7 drivers, around a dozen warehouse folks and 2 people on dispatch
