Drivers at Kroger 3PL Seek Teamsters Representation Amid Labor Violations by Management, Growing Concerns Over Proposed Mega Merger
Kroger 3PL的司机在管理层的劳工违规和对即将到来的大型合并的担忧下,寻求团结在Teamsters Local 104下的代表。
PHOENIX, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Workers at Titus Transport, a third-party logistics (3PL) delivery provider for Kroger in Arizona, are demanding representation with Teamsters Local 104 in Phoenix amid concerns over the company's labor practices and the proposed Kroger-Albertsons merger. The organizing campaign at Titus has garnered majority support among the 120 drivers, who have stood strong for nearly eight months in the face of an intense union-busting campaign by management.
2024年7月30日,菲尼克斯/美通社——亚利桑那州Titus Transport的工人要求得到Phoenix Teamsters Local 104的代表支持,对公司的劳工实践和拟议中的Kroger-Albertsons合并表示担忧。 Titus的组织活动已在这120名司机中获得了大多数支持,他们在近八个月的时间里面对管理层激烈的反工会运动坚定不移。
Teamsters are calling on Titus Transport to stop violating federal labor law and honor workers' decision to unionize. The 3PL for Kroger has faced multiple charges from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for intimidating workers and illegally terminating union supporters.
Teamsters呼吁Titus Transport停止违反联邦劳动法和尊重工人组织工会的决定。 Kroger的3PL面临着来自国家劳动关系委员会(NLRB)的多项指控,指控其恶意威吓工人和非法解雇工会支持者。
Titus Transport, a nonunion company operating in 16 locations nationwide, has allowed Kroger to cut labor costs through low wages and poor benefits. In Arizona, Titus drivers work alongside Ruan drivers represented by Local 104 who perform the same job but are paid twice as much and have strong benefits because of their Teamsters contract.
全国16个地点的非工会公司Titus Transport允许Kroger通过低工资和差劲的福利削减劳动成本。 在亚利桑那州,Titus的司机与受Local 104代表的Ruan司机一起工作,执行相同的工作,但获得了两倍的薪水和强大的福利,因为他们有了Teamsters的合同。
"Kroger's attempt to cut costs by using nonunion labor at Titus Transport is a clear indication of what we can expect if their merger with Albertsons proceeds," said Josh Graves, Vice President of Teamsters Local 104 and a representative for the Teamsters Warehouse Division. "Titus workers deserve a voice on the job, just like their Teamsters counterparts at Ruan. We will continue to fight until their voices are heard and their rights are recognized."
“Kroger试图通过在Titus Transport使用非工会劳动力来削减成本,这清楚地表明了如果他们与Albertsons的合并进行,我们可以期待什么,” Teamsters Local 104副主席,也是Teamsters Warehouse Division代表的Josh Graves说。 “Titus的工人应该获得工作岗位上的发声机会,就像他们在Ruan的Teamsters同僚一样。我们将继续斗争,直到他们的声音被听到并被承认他们的权利。”
