Here's the text (English and Spanish) of the latest flyer that has been distributed at the Orange terminal gate:
Teamsters Negotiate Tentative Agreement for USF Reddaway Workers
What’s Next for Workers at the Orange Terminal?
On August 1st, at a meeting between Teamster leaders and management in Scottsdale, AZ, the tentative agreement will be finalized. See the attached article for more information about what has been negotiated for newly organized USF Reddaway terminals.
If a majority of Orange workers sign authorization cards before August 1st,
§ your terminal will also be recognized.
§ you have a chance to influence the final contract.
§ you will be able to join with the other recognized terminals and participate in the ratification vote.
Newly organized workers do not pay initiation fees. But if there’s a change of operations, and you transfer to an organized terminal, like Pomona, and you’re not a Teamster member, you’ll have to pay an initiation fee (which can total several hundred dollars $$$).
The choice is yours.
If you haven’t signed a card, here’s your chance to improve your future and the future of your family. You are invited to an organizing meeting at the Local Union hall on Sunday, August 12th at 8:30 a.m., where we’ll discuss the USF Reddaway contract.
For more information, call Teamster organizer Jeff Sweet at 714-740-6230.

Los Teamsters Negocian el Acuerdo Tentativo para Trabajadores de
USF Reddaway
¿Que Sigue para los Trabajadores en el Terminal de Orange?
El 1° de agosto, en una reunión entre los líderes de los Teamsters y la gerencia en Scottsdale, AZ, el acuerdo tentativo será concluido. Ver el artículo que está adjunto para más información sobre lo que se ha negociado para los terminales nuevamente organizados de USF Reddaway.
Si una mayoría de trabajadores de Orange firma tarjetas de la autorización antes del 1° de agosto:
§ su terminal también será reconocido.
§ podrán influenciar el contrato final.
§ podrán reunirse con los demás terminales reconocidos y participar en el voto de la ratificación .
Los trabajadores nuevamente organizados no pagan cuotas de iniciación. Pero si hay un cambio de operaciones, y Ud. transfiere a un terminal organizado, como Pomona, y no es miembro de los Teamsters, Ud. tendrá que pagar un cuota de iniciación (que pueda sumar varios cientos de dólares $$$)
Ud. escoge.
Si no ha firmado una tarjeta, aquí tiene su oportunidad de mejorar su futuro y el futuro de su familia. Le invitan a una reunión de organización en el salón de la unión local el domingo, 12 de agosto, a las 8:30 a.m., en donde discutiremos el contrato de USF Reddaway.
Para más información, favor de llamar al organizador Gary Smith de la Unión de los Teamsters al 714-740-6213.

Company and Teamsters Reach Tentative Agreement
Today, Teamster staff called USF Reddaway organizing committee members to report that top USF Reddaway management and union leadership have reached a tentative agreement.
At terminals that have been recognized, a ratification vote will take place.
It seems that if enough drivers and dockmen at Orange sign authorization cards, we'll also be able to vote "yes" or "no" to the tentative deal.
In flyers to be distributed at the gate in Orange next week, more details will be available, especially on how we can get recognition, but here are a few items of interest:
