The owner, Mr. Tom Fry, refuses to meet with Union officials to negotiate or hear <br />grievance~. <br /> <br />. Mr. Fry will only settle grievances through his attorney. <br /> <br />. Management cannot make decisions on settling grievances without Mr. Fry's approval. <br /> <br />. Workers are intimidated or harassed if they file a grievance. <br /> <br />._..__..-._~'-"""'--'''-' ....-..,.-.. '.' -- - .._-~ <br /> <br />. Mr. Fry retaliates against employees who file grievances by cutting hours or removing <br />them from their routes. <br /> <br />.--...-.. ... --... ..--_.__._..~--_....__.._-_...._.....----- _.._---~.- <br /> <br />On the Non-Union Recycling Center: <br /> <br />. Workers do not have a break room. they are forced to eat their meals on the street. <br /> <br />. Employee locker rooms are outdoors forcing employees to change in and out of their <br />work clothes in public. <br /> <br />. There are no clean restrooms, instead there are portable filthy restrooms that are used by <br />the general public <br /> <br />. Workers are constantly threatened with their jobs if they talk about forming a Union. <br /> <br />. Workers have to beg for safety items such as work gloves or dust masks. <br /> <br />. All Recycling employees are paid minimum wage with no medical benefits. <br /> <br />. The working conditions are horrible. <br /> <br />.Ph~ase lelrr1e .KD~W jf _~.lLD~.~Q..~n.rl.hJD9..~1$.€!J...Q..a.nJ>.?J~~g!W.Q .91J JTl'y..Qel{ .Q..l}gne 6~6 .8QQ.!...4_~2;? . - . ..-.- _.- -_.- -.. - .. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />.~ 9)efgaM <br /> <br />Business Representative <br />Teamsters Local 396 <br />880 Oak Park Rd., Ste 200 <br />Covina.
