Win in Pomona, California Gives 37 Drivers, Dockworkers A Strong Voice February 6, 2007 On February 1, Local 63 in Covina, California received recognition from USF Bestway to represent a unit of 37 workers at the company’s terminal in Pomona, California. This latest victory is the second in less than two months for Local 63. On December 13, 2006, Local 63 won recognition for 112 workers at the USF Bestway terminal in Los Angeles. “Now 149 workers at two Southern California terminals will have a more secure future as Teamsters,” said Randy Cammack, Local 63 Secretary-Treasurer. “We will work hard to secure a strong contract for these new members. I want to thank Teamsters National Freight Division Director Tyson Johnson, Assistant Freight Division Director Gordon Sweeton and their whole team for making this happen.” The win in Southern California is the latest victory in the campaign to give Bestway workers the secure future they deserve. YRC Transportation announced earlier that it is combining its USF Bestway and USF Reddaway units, but the company has agreed to recognize the workers in Pomona through the Master Bestway Agreement card-check neutrality clause negotiated in the Southwest and Southeast. More than 65 percent of the workers in Pomona signed cards to form a union. In recent months, Bestway workers in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Modesto and San Leandro, all in California, and workers in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Phoenix, Arizona, chose to join the Teamsters through the card-check agreement won by the union. |
