NOTICE

TO ALL LOCAL 786 MEMBERS

WORKING UNDER THE N.I.R.M.M.A. (READY MIX) AGREEMENT 

Due to limited capacity in the 705 Hall and the numerous complaints from members that they were unable to hear the offer from NIRMMA and felt intimidated by some members, the Local 786 Executive Board has decided to present the proposal and vote the offer in time slots. The vote will be conducted on Sunday, June 9, 2024, starting at 7:30 a.m.

Your time slot will be determined by your home yard as detailed below. This will be an accept, reject/strike vote.  By creating time slots, the Executive Board will ensure all members will hear this revised offer, and have an opportunity to ask questions and have a voice in determining whether to accept or reject the offer.

There will be observers in the meeting for the entire voting process to monitor the ballot box and ballots. Once all members have voted, all members who choose to will be able to watch the count.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL MEMBERS ATTEND THE PROPOSAL MEETING AND VOTE 

Be advised that I am an attorney representing Teamsters Local 786. The above referenced story that was published today is false and I demand that you take it down and print a retraction of it immediately. The facts are simple, Teamsters Local 786 is only a tenant in that building which is owned by a different Teamsters Local. Local 786 did not have anything to do with this event.  My client has been the subject of harassment and other interruptions directly related to your false story. I will review your actions and advise my client of its rights to take legal action if you do not immediately take this story down and print a retraction. 

Each year, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and trade unionists worldwide recognize April 28^th as Workers’ Memorial Day (WMD) — an international day of remembrance and action for workers who have died, been injured, made ill, or disabled from their work.  This day serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting safety and health in the workplace and advocating for workers’ rights.
