A Waste Management official said Friday that the company would like to sit down and negotiate with striking Teamsters in an effort to end a four-day trash hauling strike. There was no immediate reaction from Teamsters Local 200. Bill Plunkett, a Waste Management spokesman, said the company offered to meet with union officials on Sept. 4, 5, 9, 16 or 23 in an effort to end the walkout. An estimated 240 members of Local 200 walked off the job on Tuesday, saying the company was coercing and intimidating workers. The workers' previous contract expired April 30. Both sides have accused each other of unfair labor practices, and have asked the National Labor Relations Board to review the charges. The offer to talk came as Waste Management replacement drivers continued to collect and transfer trash from thousands of residential and commercial accounts. Plunkett estimated that the replacement drivers, who have come from all over the country, will have caught up with collection efforts by Saturday. Plunkett also addressed Teamsters claims that the replacement drivers were not adequately trained to handle Waste Management equipment. He said drivers were thoroughly trained and were conducting daily safety and inspection checks. "Our people are top of the line Waste Management employees," Plunkett said. ...

More decertification stories : here SEIU takes 2nd place in most-decertified union contest The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is the winner of Union Free America’s 3rd Annual “Most Decertified Union Award.” This honor is awarded to the labor union that lost the most decertification elections during the preceding 12 months. The judging was based on an analysis of the reports of election results on the National Labor Relations Board’s web site for the period August 2007 through July 2008. During that time the NLRB conducted 330 decertification elections. Employees seeking to rid themselves of a union won 201 or 61 percent of them. The Teamsters union won the “Most Decertified Union Award” by being decertified 64 times during that period. The Teamsters were involved in a total of 84 decertification elections of which they lost 76 percent. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) came in a distant second by being decertified15 times. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) won honorable mention by being certified 9 times. This may seem paltry compared to the Teamsters, but IBEW deserves recognition for being decertified in 9 out of 10 elections. The Teamsters outstanding performance helped the Change to Win unions soundly defeat the AFL-CIO affiliates in the competition, despite the fact that the AFL-CIO is a considerably larger federation. Change to Win unions participated in a total of 164 decertificati ...
