Teamster Retirees Take Action! Tell Congress to Bring the Fair Labor Contracts Act Up for a Vote
Dear Teamster Retiree:
Workers shouldn’t have to wait years for their first union contract!
As a Teamster Retiree, you understand the right to a collective bargaining agreement and the benefits of being represented by a union. Unfortunately, today’s workers that vote for a union have to fight for that first Teamsters contract, because the law is full of loopholes and companies drag out the negotiation process for years. Today, on average, it takes 458 days to secure a first contract.
This is a problem that we can solve right now. The Faster Labor Contracts Act establishes a reliable first contract bargaining timeframe.
Even with strong bipartisan support, the Faster Labor Contracts Act has waited nearly two years for a vote.
Teamsters and workers across the country are done waiting for corporate-backed politicians to hold Big Business accountable.
Tell your member of Congress to “sign the discharge petition” and bring the Faster Labor Contracts Act up for a vote!
