#Teamsters are calling on shareholders of Chipotle $CMG to support Item Six, a proposal that calls for the adoption of a non-interference policy in worker organizing efforts to prevent union busting at the company: teamster.org/2023/05/teamst… #1u
Chipotle staff in Lansing, MI who joined #Teamsters Local 243 became the first workers to form a union at the fast casual chain last year.
"Let me put the record straight: while the company stopped short of breaking the law by firing workers — like an NLRB Administrative Law Judge found in Maine — Chipotle sent in union busters (euphemistically called ‘union avoidance consultants’) and held mandatory meetings..."
"...to spread misinformation, going as far to as to claim that workers would have to pay dues for life even if they quit their job," General Pres. Sean M. O’Brien said to shareholders. "These are the very forms of worker intimidation a non-interference policy guards against."

O’BRIEN TO UPS: YOU SUCCEED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE — DON’T FORGET THAT

After a 13-hour day — at the bargaining table & in subcommittee meetings — the @UPS #Teamsters National Negotiating Committee ended Tues. with a sharper focus on forcing UPS to make more progress on key proposals. Image
#Teamsters spent hours throughout the day pushing back on UPS's attempts to maintain the status quo or weaken worker protections in its Surepost program. Article 26 of the Nat'l Master Agreement outlines UPS’s eligibility to ship smaller packages of specific weight/size via USPS. Image
Several rounds of #Teamster proposals were exchanged to push UPS to put more boxes back on union package cars and commit to regular testing of the very technology the company uses to redirect volume. Image

UPS TEAMSTERS ARE WORTH MORE
And our union’s National Negotiating Committee knows it. Committee leaders, like #Teamsters Gen. President Sean M. O’Brien & Gen. Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, & Teamster rank-and-filers reconvened nat'l negotiations with @UPS executives today. Image
During late morning and early afternoon bargaining, as both sides discussed technology, package volumes, and new Teamster jobs, committee members remained vocal that the #Teamsters are unified in this fight.
UPSers are coordinating and sharing information, and the negotiating team stands behind its proposals to improve the way of life for the company’s workforce.
