Organizing Momentum Continues as 99 Drivers in Atlanta Choose Teamsters
亞特蘭大有99名車手選擇車隊，組織勢頭仍在繼續
ATLANTA, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Drivers at United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) in Atlanta have voted by 95 percent to join Teamsters Local 728. The organizing victory marks the end of a monthslong campaign by UNFI workers to win strong union representation and is the second Teamsters organizing victory at the company in less than two months.
亞特蘭大，2024年3月20日 /PRNewswire/ — 亞特蘭大聯合天然食品公司（UNFI）的司機以95％的票數投票決定加入Teamsters Local 728。這次組織勝利標誌着UNFI工作人員爲贏得強大的工會代表性而進行的長達數月的運動的結束，也是Teamsters在不到兩個月的時間裏第二次在公司組織勝利。
The successful unionization effort comes at a critical juncture, amid UNFI's union-busting attempts at its facilities in Sarasota and Pompano Beach, Fla., where Teamsters are currently organizing. UNFI is arguing that the NLRB should not conduct an election because it outsourced its driver positions to a notorious anti-union carrier. The Teamsters have filed unfair labor practice charges against UNFI for its obvious and unlawful attempt to destroy workers' rights.
成功的工會組織工作正值關鍵時刻，UNFI正試圖破壞其位於佛羅里達州薩拉索塔和龐帕諾比奇的設施，Teamsters目前正在組織這些設施。UNFI爭辯說，NLRB不應舉行選舉，因爲它將其司機職位外包給了一家臭名昭著的反工會航空公司。Teamsters對UNFI提起了不公平的勞動行爲指控，理由是UNFI明顯而非法地企圖破壞工人的權利。
"I voted for the Teamsters for improved wages, better benefits and a pension, and real job security," said Stephen Oloyde, a 22-year driver at UNFI. "With the recent news of UNFI's attempts to outsource driver jobs in Florida, it's more crucial than ever to stand together and protect ourselves."
在UNFI工作了22年的斯蒂芬·奧洛伊德說：“我投票支持Teamsters，要求提高工資、更好的福利和養老金以及真正的工作保障。”“最近有消息稱UNFI試圖將佛羅里達州的司機工作外包，團結起來保護自己比以往任何時候都更加重要。”
The win in Atlanta follows recent Teamsters organizing victories at UNFI in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Last year, more than 1,000 workers at the company voted to join the Teamsters nationwide. The Teamsters represent more than 4,000 members at UNFI across the U.S.
亞特蘭大的勝利是在Teamsters最近在亞利桑那州、加利福尼亞州、康涅狄格州、愛荷華州、賓夕法尼亞州和華盛頓州的UNFI組織勝利之後取得的。去年，該公司的1,000多名員工在全國範圍內投票決定加入Teamsters。Teamsters代表着美國各地UNFI的4,000多名成員。
"This resonant victory is just the latest example of UNFI workers joining together to take control of their workplace. Our momentum keeps growing, and each win is a resounding declaration to corporations everywhere: workers will not be silenced, intimidated, or exploited," said Tom Erickson, Director of the Teamsters Warehouse Division. "We will not allow this company to take its workers for granted. If UNFI wants to continue committing serious unfair labor practices, they will embolden and mobilize more workers to join our fight. And we will continue to win."
“這場引起共鳴的勝利只是UNFI員工團結起來控制工作場所的最新例子。我們的勢頭不斷增強，每一次勝利都是對世界各地企業的響亮宣言：員工不會被壓制、恐嚇或剝削。” Teamsters倉庫部董事湯姆·埃裏克森說。“我們不會允許這家公司將其員工視爲理所當然。如果UNFI想繼續犯下嚴重的不公平勞動行爲，他們將鼓舞和動員更多的工人加入我們的鬥爭。而且我們將繼續獲勝。”
