I would like very much for you to cover the corruption in the Labor Board , the way they forget that they are supposed to represent the employees and the way Unions are coddled by these self-serving liberal minions . Region 28 is run by a zealot named Cornele Overstreet and is officed in Phoenix,Az.<br> I am a Petitioner in a Decertification effort which , in our 1st Election , we voted out the UFCW Local 99 by a 2:1 margin . The Election was on Feb 20 2008 and the Union , with the help of the Labor board has tied this thing up with petty complaints and Unfair Labor practice charges ever since . The guys in Tucson and Sierra Vista are hoping someone in the media will bring attention to this and expose these people for what they are . We have dealt with threats , lies , coersion and are just sick of it . The insurance in the contract is substandard (Southwest Service Administrators) , the Pension is funded at less than 70% and this is a Sweetheart Union so our pay is not a priority for the Union . I have even filed charges on the Union for cancelling insurances for several employees that the Union knows are not fond of them . We expected this from the Union but to get the shaft by the Labor Board has been absolutely enraging . I have sent letters to several Senators and members of the House in the past few days but with the turmoil in Washington , I don't expect a prompt response from anyone there .<br> We are the Drivers and Helpers for Waste Management of Southern Arizona .<br> We just want to get on with our lives and give Waste Management and ourselves an opportunity to excel . The non-union work units are much happier and well taken care of . That is what we want as well . Neal , we deserve better than this and hope that you will help bring attention to our plight and the crooked ways of the NLRB that thinks (like the Unions) that FREE AND FAIR means they are free to do as they please and it is only fair if it goes the way they want it to . Please help us if you can . Just reading this on the air would help boost morale around here . Thanks for being a beacon of light for so many of us listening to your show .<br> Ed
