Choices for A Stronger Future
Every election boils down to a choice. I don’t mean
just a choice between political parties or candidates, but
a choice between priorities, vision and objectives. A
choice between moving forward or maintaining what we
have now. A chance to change
the debate across Georgia from
one that constantly attacks
workers as the problem to one
which invites Georgia workers
into the discussions for finding
solutions to problems. I believe
that Georgia workers, union and
non-union, deserve better than
what we have right now, and
this year’s election is our chance
to do what we can to bring
about a change for the better.
Who do we want making
decisions on issues that impact
Georgia working families?
Workers themselves or the
wealthy and big corporations? Who do we want to make
crucial decisions on big issues like workers’ rights, quality
education, unemployment insurance, health care and retirement security? Us or them? The formula for success
is simple: elect pro-worker candidates and we will get a
political agenda that puts working families first. Conversely, elect someone who does not have the interests of
workers at heart, and we end up with a “war on workers.”
All Teamster members, both our veteran members
and those who are new to the Teamsters Union, need to
understand why we place such a high priority on political
and legislative action. Just as successful political action
can lead to positive benefits for working men and women,
unsuccessful political action can have the opposite result,
undermining everything we stand for and weakening our
ability to fight for workers’ rights.
TEAMSTERSLOCAL728@WORK
“
Teamsters, here in Georgia and across the country,
have earned a reputation for political toughness. The
truth is that we can be very demanding, because we
expect that our elected officials actually uphold the many
promises they made when they ran for office. We have
high expectations from the politicians we support, and
do everything we can to monitor decisions they make,
especially as it relates to the jobs, rights and benefits
of workers. Yes, we do expect much from our elected
officials, and Local 728 members, the people we take an
oath to serve, expect nothing less.
Tough Expectations and
Demands for Elected Officials
So what do we expect? We expect that when people
are elected to office they actually follow-through on the
promises they made when they first ran. We expect
those who campaign for office claiming to be our friends
not to turn their backs on us when it comes to an issue or
situation that we care about. We expect politicians will
use their influence to improve
the quality of life for working families, not pass laws to
empower the powerful at the
expense of the rest of us. Some
politicians complain that we
are being too hard on them,
making too many demands.
When it comes to fighting for
working men and women, I
strongly disagree.
Politicians like to talk about
trust, saying we should trust
them to do what is right. Do
we want to trust politicians who
want to strip workers of valuable protections, including the
right to a union? Should we trust any politician who proposes cutting unemployment benefits for laid-off workers? Should we trust a politician who advocates weakening unions as a way of strengthening the workplace?
Personally, when it comes to the subject of “trust”,
I will trust the Teamsters Union, and our hard-working members, to fight for working families before I will
blindly trust any politician. I learned a long time ago
that trust is earned, not freely given. Politicians have to
work hard to gain our trust, and they do that by working with us and supporting issues that benefit Georgia’s
working men and women.
If elected officials really want our trust, a good place
to start is by proving, with actions not words, that they
deserve it. Even then Local 728’s political motto will be
“trust, but verify.”
When it comes
to the subject of
“trust”, I will trust
the Teamsters Union, and
our hard-working members,
to fight for workers before
I will blindly trust
any politician

hether we want to admit it or not, politics,
and more directly politicians, are a crucial
part of what we do here at Local 728 to
represent your interests. Believe me, if
there were any way we could avoid the drama and headaches of political action we would. Yet, the fact remains
that politicians, at all levels of government, have a direct
and powerful impact on our jobs, our union, our families
and our future. Decisions that are made by those we
elect to public office impact our lives every day. If you
and I are not involved, and don’t encourage our family
and friends to get involved, then we have no input and
whatever decision is made will, undoubtedly, go against
the better judgment of what is good for workers.

UPS Teamsters will continue to receive

become a participant in the plan. A parttimer must work 750 hours a year in order
to receive full vesting credit, but a part-timer
will become a participant in the plan after
reaching age 21 and completing a 12 month
period during which they work 375 hours.
Employees entering a package car driving,
feeder or other full time job on August 1,

Teamster Elections 2014
Supporting Candidates Who Fi
E
lection 2014 gives working
families the opportunity to
elect public officials who
value workers and will use the power
of government to improve the quality
of life for them and their children.
Local 728 recently announced
endorsements in four crucial races
that, when successful, will change our
state for the better. These include:
• Jason Carter for Governor;
• Greg Hecht for Attorney
General;
• Robbin Shipp for Georgia
Labor Commissioner; and
• Jim Nichols for District 111
State Representative.
“Electing these candidates is a top
priority this year,” Local 728 President Randy Brown declared. “They
all have records of supporting issues
important to working families. They
have supported us and so we will do
everything we can to elect them, and
many others, who proudly stand with
workers against corporate interests.”
Local 728 UPS Steward
Campaigns for State Rep.
Local 728 is taking special interest
in the District 111 State Representative race, where Local 728 UPS
Steward Jim Nichols is running to add
a Teamster voice to the legislature.
“We are excited to support one of
our own, Jim Nichols, to represent
working families at the State Capitol,”
Brown said. “Jim has been on the
frontline fighting against the war on
workers. He will proudly serve workers as a State Representative.”
As the November 4th election nears,
Local 728 will distribute a complete
endorsement list so members know
which candidates the Union believes
are best qualified to represent our
interests in the battles to come.
TEAMSTERSLOCAL728@WORK
Jason Carter
For Georgia Governor
D
emocrat Jason Carter, grandson of
former President Jimmy Carter, is
Local 728’s choice for Georgia
Governor this November.
Currently a State Senator, Carter has
consistently opposed legislation attacking
Georgia workers, including the infamour
H.B. 714 which eliminated unemployment benefits for educational
workers. He also was a vocal opponent of HB 361 which was aimed at
weakening unions’ ability to collectively bargain. Both bills were proudly
signed into law by current anti-worker Governor Nathan Deal.
“It is getting harder and harder for middle-class people in Georgia to
make it,” Carter said. “Right now, there are 363,000 Georgians looking for
work. Our state ranks 40th in the nation in unemployment. In addition,
one out of every four children in Georgia lives in poverty, the sixth worst
poverty rate in the country. Middle-class incomes have dropped twice as
fast in Georgia as it has in the rest of the country. That’s a real pay cut.”
Local 728 proudly supports Jason Carter because he recognizes the need
to put working families first to build a stronger future for all Georgians.
Greg Hecht
For Attorney General
C
andidate for Georgia Attorney
General Greg Hecht is a former
district attorney, state representative
and state senator. He has the experience
we need in Georgia’s top law enforcement
official.
Hecht is a strong supporter of workers’ rights and is committed to
protecting working families. In contrast, current Attorney General
Sam Olens has shown a willingness to turn a blind eye to labor law
violators, including companies that misclassify employees as independent
contractors, thus providing legal cover for efforts to undermine federal
protections for workers.
Greg Hecht will get tough on corruption, will stand up for consumers
and will protect our children. He has what it takes to get the job done.

UPS Steward Jim Nichols
Seeks State House Seat
For Labor Commissioner
G
eorgia Labor Commissioner
candidate Robbin Shipp, a
former state representative, will
bring much-needed changes to the Labor Department. As Labor
Commissioner, Robbin will support working families by ensuring
that all Georgians receive:
• A living wage and quality jobs to our state;
• Equal pay for equal work;
• Transparency in the process for receiving state benefits;
• Training and retraining to help Georgia workers compete
in the global economy;
• A Labor Department that welcomes innovation and
works for all Georgians.
Robbin is running against current Labor Commissioner
Mark Butler. During his first term, Butler cut unemployment
benefits for jobless Georgians while eliminating unemployment
benefits for educational workers.
As our next Labor Commissioner, Robbin will redirect Georgia’s
Department of Labor to its intended mission of assisting Georgia
workers, not attacking them and their ability to feed and care for
their families.
Support Teamster DRIVE
Big Business spends big money, both here
in Georgia and in Washington, D.C., to push
their anti-worker scheme. Reports show
that corporations outspend working families
by a whopping 15-to-1 margin.
Local 728 members can fight back by contributing to D.R.I.V.E
– the Teamsters’ political action program. Your weekly voluntary contribution will be used to educate members about issues
and helps fund candidates who pledge to fight for our rights
once they are elected to public office.

U
PS Steward Jim Nichols is a proud
Local 728 member. A true trade unionist,
Jim is a strong fighter for workers’ rights, standing
up for the principles of fairness, equality and
opportunity which define the labor movement.
Jim’s passion for workers sparked him to take on
a new challenge, running for public office against
Republican State Representative Brian Strickland
in Georgia’s District 111.
“I’m running for State Representative because I
believe every voice matters,” Nichols said. “It is
time to build an economy that protects and helps
hard-working families and not just those who can
afford to cut big campaign checks.”
As a preloader at UPS, Nichols wakes up every
morning and works hard to earn a paycheck. That
is the same level of dedication and commitment he
will bring to the legislature as State Representative.
Local 728 proudly supports Jim Nichols for State
Representative. He will bring his youthful energy,
vision and enthusiasm to the legislative process at
a time when too many young people believe that
their vote doesn’t matter. We need Jim under the
gold dome in Atlanta!

LOCAL 728 DIVISIONAL REPORTS
UPS DIVISION
By B.A. Jim Higginbotham
L
ocal 728 UPS Business Agents have been
hard at work enforcing the new contract
language that is now in effect, especially the
language that relates to the rights and jobs of Teamster members.
We recently obtained the cover driver report and it indicates that we
have several cover drivers going over 156 reports. We are monitoring
this situation and as soon as TCDs reach the 156 threshold we advise
UPS that a new full-time job must be created with a seniority date of
the next day.
The 9.5 language which gives package drivers the right to be relieved
of excessive overtime has improved protections from retaliation based
on the timing and severity of the Company’s actions.
All UPS Business Agents have been meeting with members at each
center, discussing issues or concerns they may have. This will increase
our ability to make sure members are educated about the enhanced
rights they have under the new agreement and hold the Company
accountable whenever they violate the contract.
MOTION PICTURE DIVISION
By B.A. Tony Lefebvre
G
eorgia’s motion picture industry is one
of the state’s fastest growing employment sectors. Over the last two years,
our industry has seen growth of about 30% each
year, and in 2014 the industry had a $5.1 billion
economic impact on the State of Georgia.
Local 728 currently has 500 members performing transportation duties — moving equipment
and talent — for an average of 23 productions that we have going at any
given time. Our members have been working on movies and television
shows including the third and fourth Hunger Games, the Divergent
movie series, the Walking Dead, the Red Band Society television show,
Resurrection and Constantine.
Georgia has earned a reputation as the “Hollywood of the South.”
In fact, if you combine all workers across Georgia who are currently
employed in the TV and motion picture industry, 30,000 workers, this
makes it our state’s third largest employer. Not only that, but Georgia
ranks #3 in the country behind Los Angeles and New York. Given the
industry’s growth, we remain optimistic about the future.
Local 728 Motion Picture Division members are proud to do our part
to make each of these productions the best they can be. I am equally
proud to represent each of you who work hard everyday to provide a
valuable service to a crucial Georgia industry.
FREIGHT DIVISION
are not protected when the companies use PTS. We will continue filing
grievances to protect as many drivers as possible on each seniority list.
Another issue is YRC’s heavy-handed use of the ratified attendance
policy. Many grievances have been filed and are ready to be heard once
the company runs out of reasons to stall the adjudication of this cases.
Organizing drives at Con-Way and FedEx Freight are underway
across the country. If you come into contact with a Con-Way or FedEx
Freight driver who seems interested in organizing in Georgia, urge
them to contact Local 728 Organizing Director Ben Speight at (404)
622-0521. Organizing non-union freight companies is critical to restoring Teamster standards within the freight industry.
ORGANIZING UPDATE
By Organizing Director Ben Speight
L
ocal 728 recently won an important
organizing victory at Mayfield Dairies,
a Division of Dean Foods. The election
for drivers and dockworkers at Mayfield’s Decatur
and Marietta facilities was held on Friday, August
22nd and workers at both facilities voted “YES” to
join Local 728. Decatur members voted yes by a
margin of 54% to 45% while Marietta workers voted
yes 57% to 43%.
The Mayfield Dairy
campaign was a strong victory for the workers who
stood together against the
company’s anti-union push.
The employer did everything they could to try and
dissuade workers from
joining. They used around 20 union busters between the two facilities
to monitor workers and spread anti-union propaganda. Management
also conducted ride-alongs with workers, held mandatory anti-union
meetings, and applied pressure on workers urging them to reject the
union. The workers resisted these anti-union tactics and voted to take
charge of their workplace by joining the Teamsters.
Local 728 was contacted by the workers several times, most recent inquiry took place this past May. Following that contact, we met with the
workers over the course of three months, outlining how the union could
improve their work and security through a negotiated contract.Thanks
to support from the IBT’s Dairy Conference, Local 728 conducted a
campaign that addressed key issues such as fair work rules, guaranteed
raises, safe and proper equipment and pay for all time worked.
As a result of this victory, any Mayfield milk or ice cream product
purchased in Metro Atlanta will be delivered by a Local 728 driver.
We will soon move forward and begin bargaining a first contract for
these new members. We want each of them to know that Local 728
is here for them and will do what we can to enhance their rights and
benefits as proud rank-and-file Teamsters.
LOCAL 728 ORGANIZING FACTS
By B.A. Mike Dollar
• Local 728 currently has 7,900 members.
ocal 728 is closely monitoring YRC and
ABF’S usage of PTS. The use of PTS
is conditional on the “protection” of a
specific number of workers on the road seniority list.
Local 728 has taken issue with the companies over the interpretation of
the language and exactly who is protected.
The self-destructive position that both companies have put themselves
in — obtaining qualified drivers — will continue if their existing drivers
• Ten years ago we had a membership of 5,700.
L
TEAMSTERSLOCAL728@WORK
• Local 728’s membership has grown by 39% through
aggressive and effective organizing campaigns.
• Workers at a variety of companies are calling
daily asking what they can do to join Local 728.

Lithonia Lighting
Members at these companies have voted and ratified renewal contracts this year. All contracts won above-average wage increases as
well as key improvements in contract language.
FIRST CONTRACTS
Iron Mountain (Shredding Division) — Workers at the Shredding
Division of Iron Mountain Records management continue to bargain a first
contract. They will join their fellow Iron Mountain workers at the company’s
hard copy division that have been Teamsters for nearly a decade.
MV Transportation/Georgia State University — Members
overwhelmingly ratified their first agreement after the company recognized
Local 728 through a card check process when they took over the transportation contract at Georgia State.
NEW REGIONAL MASTER AGREEMENT
ALSCO — Members at Alsco laundry service in Savannah and Albany
ratified a new regional master agreement. The contract included raises,
controlled health care costs, and a defined benefit pension that replaced
their current 401k.
In addition, as this newsletter goes to press, Local 728 continues negotiating renewal agreements at Republic Services, First Student Savannah, GES,
Ralcorp and Iron Mountain (Hard Copy). Rank-and-file members at each
of these employers are doing a fantastic job of standing with their Bargaining
Committee to secure an agreement they will be proud to support at ratification time.
