Pees in the brown Koolaid
Just got word from our local that the union is filing a class-action grievance against the company for the manner in which it is conducting Integrad training at the new Portland facility.
Applicants have been given "pre-course" training that must be completed off the clock prior to going to Integrad, as well as being told that they are required to stay at the hotel. The company has unilaterally changed the wages, hours and working conditions of seniority employees in regards to package car training by creating a "boot camp" for prospective drivers and has refused to negotiate these changes with the union as is required by the contract.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
