HERTZ TEAMSTERS AUTHORIZE STRIKE AS CONTRACT EXPIRATION LOOMS
Nearly 3,000 Teamsters in Nine States Prepare to Strike at Several Major Airports
近3000名九个州的卡车司机工会成员准备在多个主要机场举行罢工
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Teamsters at 20 local unions have voted overwhelming to strike if a new agreement is not reached by Monday, September 30. These nearly 3,000 Teamsters are covered by a Western Regional Master Agreement with Hertz and represented by locals in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington.
华盛顿,2024年9月26日/PRNewswire/ - 20个地方工会的赫兹卡车司机工会成员以压倒性优势投票支持如果在9月30日星期一之前无法达成新协议则罢工。这些近3000名卡车司机工会成员受赫兹的西部区域大师协议保护,并由亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州、科罗拉多州、内华达州、新墨西哥州、俄勒冈州、德克萨斯州、犹他州和华盛顿州的地方工会代表。
"When we began negotiations with Hertz more than a month ago, we made it abundantly clear that Teamsters would not be working beyond the expiration date of this agreement," said Rocco Calo, Director of Teamsters Industrial Trades Division. "Teamsters at Hertz are instrumental to operations of several major airports and deserve to be treated as such. Striking is always a last resort, but Hertz Teamsters are ready to fight for what they are owed."
“当我们一个多月前和赫兹开始谈判时,我们已经非常清楚地表明卡车司机工会成员不会在协议到期之后继续工作,”卡车司机工会工业贸易部主任罗科·卡洛说。“赫兹的卡车司机对几个主要机场的运营至关重要,并应得到应有的对待。罢工总是最后的手段,但赫兹的卡车司机已经准备好为他们应得的权益而战。”
Teamsters at Hertz work in a variety of roles at several major airports in the Western United States, including Albuquerque International Airport, Eugene Airport, Denver International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
赫兹的卡车司机在美国西部的多个主要机场担任各种角色,包括阿尔布开基国际机场、尤金机场、丹佛国际机场、洛杉矶国际机场、旧金山国际机场和西雅图-塔科马国际机场。
"Hertz has repeatedly offered us workers insulting contract proposals that fail to address workers' needs," said Ron Scott, a 34-year Hertz mechanic and member of Teamsters Local 481 in San Diego. "Throughout negotiations, the company has advocated for their bottom line more than they have for us. It's unacceptable that Hertz is refusing to pay us a living wage, while also trying insert language into this agreement that would create a two-tier system. We will not stand for it."
“赫兹多次向我们工人提供了令人侮辱的合同提案,未能解决工人的需求,”圣迭戈481地区卡车司机联合会的34岁赫兹机械师兼卡车司机工会成员罗恩·斯科特说。“在谈判过程中,该公司更多地支持了他们的底线,而不是我们。赫兹拒绝向我们支付符合生活标准的工资,同时还试图在该协议中插入可能造成两级制度的条款。我们不能容忍这一点。”
