MY Daily UT Weblog

One after another the dirty-tricks emerge revealing Union Tribune's ruthless campaign against workers' rights.When UT employees attempt to stand up for themselves and try to form a union, we face threats, propaganda, discrimination, intimidation, harassment and even firings.It's wrong, and it's got to stop now!!! AND IT IS AGAINST THE LAW!!!

Union Flyers @ Petco Park

Today I helped the guys distributed some flyers at Petco Park. We were Steve, Benny, Ken and me. Since last week the group started distributing this flyer to the community of San Diego and Petco is the perfect place. And this is a good idea. Actually one of the driver in the distribution department told and showed me the blue flyers, her mom got it from the ballgame and he is very proud when he said that. I told him that since last week we are distributing those flyers. We spent at least 2 hours there on the gate. We distributed more or less a thousand of them today! It was fun anyway!
Yesterday(Friday 09.01.2006), a lot of my co- workers showed support to the union by wearing their black shirts. And again Michael C. come to work so early and maybe checking all the new guys who are wearing the union black shirt. He looks so desperate and try to be nice with me by rendering his help ( by picking up the wood skid & plastic wrap) while i'm doing the forklift on system 1. I also noticed a lot of guys are wearing just a black shirt showing that they are behind us. I hope I am right. And I also had information that they still call them in the office and try to intimidate them. I just want to give a special credit to these people they are (The UT-Pinay Pride) Leonor, Arsenia, Ellen & Vilma( sa totoo lang ang gaganda at bagay na bagay sa inyo!). Marie D. also gave her word to us. Others said they will wear it later; on their next shift (2nd shift OT) anyway whatever is comfortable for you girls. Oscar F. is also proud wearing his ( Vietnamese"" Bát Quá Tám") union-shirt!Virgil wear his black shirt too! A lot of people are being informed about the blogsite, this time Boyet asked me about the URL site: http://www.thecharmsquad.blogspot.com. Thanks to Freddie Perez for his effort on promoting our site! You're doing a good job! Two thumbs up for you!
Also today I heard a good news from Ernie that he is having his first " apo" congrats anyway! It's a blessing!!!
