TEAMSTERS AND THE TRI-BOARD DRIVERS ARE ORGANIZING TOGETHER WELCOME TO THE STOCK - LAIDLAW ORGANIZING DRIVE: Teamsters Local Union 938 has been approached from drivers of several companies to become unionized. This document is designed to provide you information on all aspects of unionizing and the benefits with working for a unionized company. We are not here to take on your employers, simply to level the playing field between employer and employee and work for a brighter future for all. MISSION STATEMENT: Teamsters Local Union 938 will endeavor to unionize the bus companies working under the School Boards. Our goal is to unite the drivers who are employed by these companies through a strong union. We will work with any driver to help further along the process, and encourage all drivers to become involved. Our door is always open...take the time to contact us with your information so we can keep you informed. All this information is 100% confidential from the employer. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER LAW In all parts of Canada, employees have a legal right to become union members, to organize, support, and participate in union activities. The Canada Labour Code states: "Every employee is free to join the trade union of his/her choice and to participate in its lawful activities" The Ontario Labour Relations Act provides the identical rights and freedoms.
WHERE DO WE START We are interested in you the driver as the most valuable asset to your employer. This is a grass roots drive, reaching out to every driver, regardless of union opinion or pre-conceptions. We are here for you, and will answer any questions you may have. Lets make an informed decision together: Remember these simple things:
You carry the most precious cargo in the world - parents place
their trust in you
