Blue Mass readers might be interested in supporting a boycott of Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Enterprise shuttle van drivers, car drivers and car prep workers just wanted a voice on the job and a say in their future. That's why a majority of the workers at Enterprise's Boston airport rental facility asked management to begin negotiations with them for long overdue improvements in their wages and working conditions.
Workers took action because Enterprise management refused to address their concerns about:
· Unsafe Working Conditions
· Job Discrimination
· Abuse of wage and hours
· Lack of respect
When management refused to negotiate, workers sought a union election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board to compel management to work with employees to solve these on-the-job problems.
Enterprise's response? "You're fired!"
Enterprise management announced on June 13 that all shuttle drivers and car prep jobs would be subcontracted to a Houston-based staffing company and all car drivers would have to apply for jobs at other Enterprise facilities.
Please contact Regional Vice President Mark Jewell and tell him:
"I'm boycotting Enterprise Rent-A-Car until you stop subcontracting the airport facility jobs in Boston and sit down with employees to resolve their problems."
Call or fax Mark Jewell today!
Phone (781) 238-2010 or Fax (781) 238-2099
In the Boston-area, the boycott is being spearheaded by IUE-CWA Local 201, MassCOSH, the Chelsea Collaborative, the Greater Boston Central Labor Council and the North Shore Labor Council. The boycott is supported by over 25 labor and community groups. |
