HERTZ TEAMSTERS AUTHORIZE STRIKE AS CONTRACT EXPIRATION LOOMS
Teamsters at Hertz work in a variety of roles at several major airports in the Nearly 3,000 Teamsters in Nine States Prepare to Strike at Several Major Airports
近3000名九個州的卡車司機工會成員準備在多個主要機場舉行罷工
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.
華盛頓，2024年9月26日/PRNewswire/ - 20個地方工會的赫茲卡車司機工會成員以壓倒性優勢投票支持如果在9月30日星期一之前無法達成新協議則罷工。這些近3000名卡車司機工會成員受赫茲的西部區域大師協議保護，並由亞利桑那州、加利福尼亞州、科羅拉多州、內華達州、新墨西哥州、俄勒岡州、德克薩斯州、猶他州和華盛頓州的地方工會代表。
"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."
「當我們一個多月前和赫茲開始談判時，我們已經非常清楚地表明卡車司機工會成員不會在協議到期之後繼續工作，」卡車司機工會工業貿易部主任羅科·卡洛說。「赫茲的卡車司機對幾個主要機場的運營至關重要，並應得到應有的對待。罷工總是最後的手段，但赫茲的卡車司機已經準備好爲他們應得的權益而戰。」
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.
赫茲的卡車司機在美國西部的多個主要機場擔任各種角色，包括阿爾布開基國際機場、尤金機場、丹佛國際機場、洛杉磯國際機場、舊金山國際機場和西雅圖-塔科馬國際機場。
"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."
「赫茲多次向我們工人提供了令人侮辱的合同提案，未能解決工人的需求，」聖迭戈481地區卡車司機聯合會的34歲赫茲機械師兼卡車司機工會成員羅恩·斯科特說。「在談判過程中，該公司更多地支持了他們的底線，而不是我們。赫茲拒絕向我們支付符合生活標準的工資，同時還試圖在該協議中插入可能造成兩級制度的條款。我們不能容忍這一點。」
