UNION BLOCKS TRUCKING COMPANY'S LOADS AT THE PORT OF HUENEME
By Stephanie Hoops

Drivers Fired for Organizing; Pay Stolen!
Toll Group, an Australian logistics company with operations at the Port of Los Angeles, fired 26 drivers last week after they came to work wearing Teamster t-shirts to show that they want to be our brothers. And to add insult to injury, when workers went to cash or deposit their final pay checks, they learned that they were drawn on a non-existent account!
In America, workers have the right to join a union. But Toll is trying to intimidate their employees and prevent them from exercising their rights.
Act Now to Support the Toll 26!
Join us to demand that Toll respect workers' rights and reinstate the fired employees. Send an email to the Toll Group today and tell them to stop the campaign of harassment and retaliation against these drivers, reinstate the fired workers and respect their right to organize a union with the Teamsters.
Your message will be sent to Andrew Ethell, General Manager of Group Corporate Affairs, Toll Group.
Join Us to Fight Back!
This won’t be the end of it! We are prepared to take this company on in Los Angeles, in Australia with the support of our sister union there, or wherever they do business—and we’ll need your help as this fight escalates. Please visit http://grimtruthattollgroup.com/ for more information and be ready to help us continue the fight for justice at Toll Group.

Democrats Pivot From Boeing Battle To Broad Defense Of Unions
By Kevin Bogardus - 07/26/11
House Democrats pivoted off Republican criticism of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Tuesday to mount a full-throated defense of labor unions.
Senior House Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), rallied union members at a press conference where lawmakers and labor leaders blasted Republicans for attacking the labor board. The House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would limit the NLRB’s authority. TO READ ON CLICK HERE
