Union Update

Sat, 04/09/2022 - 6:34am
On April, 4.2022, Governor Baker signed bill H.4578 into law. In that bill is the supplemental budget for our cost-of-living raises that are owed to us upon completion of our last contract between MassDOT and the unions. We appreciate your patience during this process and just know the money is coming now sooner than later. Also, under the new contract all licenses and continuing education that are required for you job are reimbursable, including your DOT physical.

Contract Update

Tue, 03/08/2022 - 9:04pm
 
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
As you know, the contract was ratified and signed Jan,14.2022 with retroactive pay and the clock is still ticking.  I stated to all you members that your monies would be here by March at the latest, including $2000 Covid pay .
 
Teamsters fought long and hard and were lied to by Head Negotiator Olinda Marshall and the rest of the DOT team. She stated, and I quote, our contract and the Covid 19 pay did not need legislation approval.  Well, it most 
certainly did.  We are doing our best to help facilitate payments to all members.  Thank you for your patience .
 
In solidarity,
 
Brother George

Union Update

Fri, 02/11/2022 - 12:24pm
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
 
The contract was signed by all unions at the end of January, then is goes through processing.  All members should be receiving their raises and retroactivity payments in 60 days.
 
To all members,
 
Teamsters are well aware of the pay disparity of new hires and truly understand the frustration. I take full responsibility and vow to get to the bottom of this problem.
 
Our contract states that all new hires start at Bottom Step and grade in their respective job title in black and white. DOT did this without Union knowledge.
 
Teamsters have our attorneys on this issue. Now that our contract is settled, we can focus on this morale buster and make all members whole.
 
My apologies to all of you for the lack of updates on the web site. I battled Covid 19 for a little time.
 
In solidarity,
 
Brother George

Urgent News

Fri, 10/01/2021 - 7:50am

The Teamsters and all unions had a meeting today with DOT Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver and he stated that DOT is going to use outside contractors to fill your jobs If you do not get vaccinated and self ascertain  by October 17.2021.


Jonathan also stated he did not want to do that and stressed how important that everybody be vaccinated and completed by October 17.2021.


Teamsters Local 127 is still at the bargaining table over this illegal mandate. Our attorney put them on notice that it is against the law to mandate a policy without first bargaining. DOT still unlawfully set an illegal mandate regardless of their obligation.

Please, if you need your job get vaccinated.

In Solidarity,
Brother George
