Why Join a Union

Forming a union changes the basic power relationship at work. Without a union, employers have almost all the rights. They can change your pay and working conditions at any time as long as they do not violate certain laws, like the minimum wage. Any benefits you receive are at the discretion of your employer.
Once you form a union, your employer cannot make changes in your working conditions unless they are negotiated with you as union members. Any benefits or working conditions covered by your contract are protected by law.
When you negotiate your contract, you and your co-workers decide what kinds of things could be improved at your work site and make proposals to your employer. Your employer is legally obligated to negotiate over most proposals that affect the quality of your work life. A union gives you strength in numbers to improve your pay, benefits, and working conditions.

Welcome Ruan Bobcat Drivers

This site is dedicated to the drivers of Ruan-Bobcat who want to form a union with Teamsters Local 120 and bargain collectively for better wages and working conditions. In these tough economic times it is stressful for every working class family when it comes down to what will happen at work.

The bottom line is if the drivers want a contract they are the ones that will make it happen.

The election will be successful because it is being handled by the workers for the workers as a group... all for a contract.

This will be the official site for all Ruan-Bobcat drivers to cross check any information given out by those who are being paid to stop you from joining Teamsters local 120.
