Back Pay Archives - Teamsters Local 853

The final chapter closes on ULP charges against Premier Recycling

When an organized group wins a ruling of Unfair Labor Practices(ULP) as the members at Premier Recycling did, by federal law, the company must post and read aloud the below posting at every employment location and during every shift and leave posted for 60 days.

This is the procedure that was followed last week as the company read aloud and posted the below document with Teamsters 853 Business Agent, James Long, 853 Attorney, and NLRB compliance officer present during each shift change at 9 AM /930 AM /10 AM /1030 AM/430 PM.

This is the power of federal laws put in place decades ago to protect workers.

Congratulations to all of the members at Premier who endured three long years for justice. Your group is a model of determination, and on behalf of every Teamster 853 member, we salute your grit.

Suspected Faulty Computers Shortchange Teamster Commissions at the Coliseum in Oakland

Seven Teamsters working for The Mandate Company who run concessions at the Oakland Coliseum recently disputed their wage calculations. The source of the error seems to originate from Aramark equipment. Aramark contracts with The Mandate Company and provides hand-held concession computers for these members. These seven members determined that the end-of-shift sales figures had been incorrect on the Aramark machines, and cheated these members out of rightful commissions.

So, in conjunction with Teamsters Local 853 Business Agent John Arnolfo and Mandate workers and Stewards, they are approaching the company to try to make our members whole by securing the back pay. Should The Mandate Company choose to deny their claim, the Local can exercise the next step by filing a case through the California State Labor Commissioner.

Pictured here are those Concession Vendor Teamsters meeting with Union attorney Sarah Kabnar (bottom right) regarding outstanding wage claims.

Stay tuned and we will let you know the outcome or further developments.
