This Labor Day weekend Laborers Local 108 finds itself in a fight for a contract and a raid by an independent union, local 124 at Marangi Disposal.
Marangi Disposal after realizing that Local 108 would not prostitute itself for dues money, decided that forcing an election would be easier than just dealing with the Union. That has been in place for over 6 years.
I have said it many times before that if they are going to put us out of business, then they had better remember our name forever.
I am asking all that receive this email or read this message to do something. Go to the action link on our web page and send a message to Marangi Disposal or call
Marangi Disposal @ 800-595-7660 Let them know that you are a member of Laborers Local Union 108 or that you just support the working class and this fight is not just about one company, but it is about the working class membership of Laborers Local Union 108, and when you pick a fight with one of us, you have to fight all of us.
Local 124 is a cancer that employers in our industry will use to get their way and as I look back over history, it’s no different than big business using armed guards to kill workers that went on strike in the 1930’s
Marangi Disposal has threaten to fire workers if they go on strike, they have forced workers to work in a hostile environment and the Leadership of Local Union 108 has been barred from going onto the employers premises to see it members.
Labor Day, some say America does not need unions anymore. I tell you now today, that history is repeating itself in America. Marangi Disposal is a perfect example why we need union more today than ever before.
Fraternally Yours,
Mike.
