The Teamsters Union applies for certification to represent FedEx workers in Barrie, Ontario
03-17-2010
14 :23 ESTToday, Teamsters Canada filed an application for certification with the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
The application was filed on behalf of all the workers based at FedEx Express’ terminal in Barrie, Ontario.
These workers decided to join the Teamsters Union during the large-scale campaign launched in 2009 to organize FedEx workers.
“It seems that the decision made by FedEx’s administrative workers in Mississauga inspired others,” points out Robert Bouvier, president of Teamsters Canada. “The workers in Barrie have indicated that they wish to benefit from fair treatment from their employer.”
Dozens of organizers are taking part in this large-scale campaign. The Teamster Union will regularly update its FedEx campaign websites.
