The employees of the Penske Truck Rental company in Nashville and Minneapolis have voted to eliminate their employee union, and in a vote told the International Association of Machinists union to take a hike.
The vote came after the employees officially notified the federal National Labor Relations Board that they were going to move to oust the union.
Per Just the News:
David Saylor filed the Nashville petition and Kyle Fulkerson filed the Minneapolis petition with free legal aid from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.
The Minnesota workers voted 26-7 on May 1 to remove the union while the Tennessee workers voted 15-8 on May 8 for the removal.
“This lopsided vote is a testament to the fact that after having seen the IAM up close and personal in our workplace, my colleagues and I are confident that we are better off without union officials so-called ‘representation,’” Fulkerson said in a statement.
The removal of the union will be completed on May 8.
“Workers across the country are increasingly exercising their rights to remove unwanted unions, with more decertification elections held last year than in any year since 2017,” National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix said.
Let’s hope this starts happening more often!
