Boycott Enterprise
Rent-A-Car!
Enterprise Rent-A-Car shuttle van drivers, car
drivers and car prep workers just wanted a voice on the job and a say in their
future. That's why a majority of the workers at Enterprise's Boston airport
rental facility asked management to begin negotiations with them for long
overdue improvements in their wages and working conditions.
Workers took action because Enterprise management refused to address their
concerns about:
· Unsafe Working Conditions · Job Discrimination · Abuse of wage and hours · Lack of respect When management refused to negotiate, workers sought a union election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board to compel management to work with employees to solve these on-the-job problems. Enterprise's response? "You're fired!"
Enterprise management announced on June 13 that all shuttle drivers and car
prep jobs would be subcontracted to a Houston-based staffing company and all car
drivers would have to apply for jobs at other Enterprise facilities.
Please show your support for the boycott by contacting Regional
Vice President Mark Jewell. Tell him:
"I'm boycotting Enterprise Rent-A-Car until you stop subcontracting the
airport facility jobs in Boston and sit down with employees to resolve their
problems."
