We are drivers for Hallcon and members and leaders of the United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America Locals 155, 716, 977, 1077, 1177 & 1477. We work for Hallcon in 15 different states. We call on the top leadership of Hallcon to protect our health, safety and jobs at once. In order to do this, we demand the following:

• Hallcon drivers demand a $5.00/hour immediate raise to base and alternate rates of pay. These rate increases shall apply to all hours worked for the duration of the pandemic.
• We demand 30 days of paid sick leave for all drivers who are sent home because of a railroad demand, supervisor sent driver home because of suspicion of COVID-19 symptoms.
• If drivers use their Sick Pay or PTO for illness related to COVID-19, Hallcon shall reimburse Sick Pay and PTO used.
• We demand any driver that requests a layoff, any time during the pandemic outbreak, shall be granted their previous position prior to when they left Hallcon.
• We demand drivers be provided with extra breaks to wash their hands. The employer should provide tissues, no-touch trash cans, hand soap, alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol, disinfectants, and disposable towels for workers to clean their work surfaces in each vehicle.
• We demand more communication with drivers on the impact of COVID-19 in all UE locations and that Hallcon use the Drivers Portal and any means necessary the means for drivers to get the proper cleaning supplies and PPE as needed.
• We demand that Hallcon step up and tell the railroad and railroad crews that drivers have the right to wear masks.

Nothing moves without us.
