School Bus Drivers Tell Teamster Union Bosses to Hit the Road
From the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation:
School bus drivers desperately need Right to Work protections
Lyons, IL (April 26, 2012) – A large majority of Latino Express bus drivers in Lyons, Illinois have petitioned the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regional office in Chicago for a secret-ballot election to remove an unwanted local Teamster union hierarchy from their workplace.
Led by Ramiro Lopez, who learned about his legal rights from the National Right to Work Foundation, over 50 of the 76 total drivers signed the petition.
Teamster Local 777 seized monopoly bargaining control over the workplace a year ago. However, Teamster union bosses have yet to negotiate a contract with Latino Express, a conflict that has resulted in union legal accusations against the company and picketing of the workplace, alienating workers.
Meanwhile, Teamster union operatives have singled out workers who want nothing to do with the union hierarchy.
