  Thank you to all of the Teamster locals who joined us at City Hall to call for passage of the waste equity bill. The legislation was fiercely opposed by the private carters and was thought dead just a few months ago, but we fought to bring it back and it passed yesterday by a vote of 32-13 in the City Council.

  City Council Speaker Corey Johnson and bill sponsor Antonio Reynoso both thanked the Teamsters for our support and acknowledged our important role in getting it across the finish line. The win sets the stage for implementing our broader reforms in the industry to raise wages and require strict safety policies.

• Social security benefits

  published 01/19/18

  The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.

  The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.

  If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security.

  If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved!

  This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.

  That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it's a fact).

  And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.

  Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.

  But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.

  Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!

  Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.

  Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.

  Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

  Two weeks ago, our long-time union brother Eber Garcia Vasquez was deported. The Teamsters are continuing to work with his attorney and advocates to expedite his Green Card application so he can return to the U.S. and be reunited with his family.

  But the deportation has left his family without a breadwinner. Eber had a good union job, which allowed him to provide for his wife, who was recently in a car crash, his daughter who is attending college, and the rest of his family.

  To support this family, Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights, in partnership with the Teamsters, set up a Crowdrise fundraising page. All donations will go to Eber's family.

  Please donate if you can (every little bit helps!) and please share the link with your friends and on social media.

  Thank you for standing with us as we fought Eber's deportation and for continuing to stand with his family.

• Teamsters gain favorable settlement from NLRB in private carter fight

  published 06/29/17

  By David Giambusso
  06/29/2017 05:07 AM EDT

  Teamsters Local 813 is declaring a victory in its ongoing effort to unionize the private carting industry, after the National Labor Relations Board signed a settlement preventing one company from interfering with union activities.

  The Teamsters union, which has represented employees at Planet Waste Services for several years, alleged the Maspeth company intimidated workers when the company tried to install a management-friendly union. Workers who cooperated with the NLRB's investigation or with union representatives were threatened with firing, had cameras installed on their trucks, or were interrogated by management, the Teamsters alleged.

  Planet Waste did not respond to multiple requests for comment, and the settlement signed by its owners does not admit guilt. But the guidelines issued by the NLRB prevent the company from engaging in such tactics in the future.

  According to the settlement agreement issued this month, Planet Waste is forbidden from changing employees' wages, hours or other conditions if a worker engages in union activity or cooperates with an NLRB investigation. If the company does make changes, it must notify Local 813 and give the union a chance to bargain.

  The settlement also recognizes the union as the "exclusive collective-bargaining representative" of the workers.

  "This is the federal government saying no to union busting and no to threatening workers who stand up for themselves," Sean Campbell, president of Teamsters Local 813, said in a statement. "These abuses are not unique to Planet Waste, they happen every day at private sanitation companies across the city. Local 813 is pushing back and we are winning."

  The NLRB ruling comes amid an ongoing fight between private carters and their opponents in the city over commercial zoning, recycling and worker safety. Private carters pick up most of the city's commercial waste.

• Coalition leader for private carters threatens to leave city talks

  published 06/22/17

  By David Giambusso
  06/22/2017 05:03 AM EDT

  The head of a coalition of private carters said recent criticism of his members is souring progress in reaching an equitable plan to establish commercial waste zones in New York City and has threatened to walk away from the talks.

  Labor and environmental groups won a significant victory last year when the city announced it would establish the zones, also called franchises. Under the current system, private carters pick up almost all of the commercial waste in New York City, often competing for business, block-by-block. The zone system would award a contract to one company for one section of the city, something city officials say would reduce truck emissions and improve worker safety.

  Carters oppose the franchise system, arguing the commercial zones will kill competition and put smaller companies out of business.

  In establishing the new system, the city has tried to bring the carters to the table through a commercial zone advisory group. Last week, the carters' opponents launched a website that catalogs various safety and worker violations for six private carting companies.

  Kendall Christiansen, who leads a coalition of private carters called New Yorkers for Responsible Waste Management, said the website was counterproductive and threatened to suspend his involvement in the advisory group.

  "I will not be attending [Wednesday's] meeting, and am temporarily suspending my involvement with this process," Christiansen told advisory group members in an email sent this week and obtained by POLITICO New York. "I am dismayed that certain participants in this process are participating in continuing attacks on individuals and companies licensed to provide essential waste management-related services, and am of the opinion that such attacks should cease immediately in order for this process to move forward constructively."

  Asked about the email, Christiansen said he did not plan to withdraw from the process altogether, but was only addressing a sub-group to register his disappointment.

  "While I cannot speak for others, I can only hope that others are equally dismayed and will register their concerns appropriately," he said in the email.

  City officials declined to comment.

  The advisory group is still in its early stages, but the internal struggle already underway indicates how difficult it will be to hash out a plan that pleases the disparate sides.

  "For us, the implementation of the waste zones is going well and we're very glad to be working with the [group] to transform the industry," said Maritza Silva-Farrell, executive director of Alliance for a Greater New York (ALIGN), one of the groups responsible for the site. "If carters want to be a part of the solution, the first step is to acknowledge the big problems the industry has."

  The private carters and their opponents - which include ALIGN, the Teamsters and a host of environmental groups - remain locked in a bitter feud and continue to battle for public and political support.

  The website, "Trash Kingpins of New York City" details some of the ills of the carting industry, including racially charged social media posts from one of the company's owners.

  It was launched in response to a recent push by the carters to humanize its members, and cultivate an image of small, family-run businesses that stand to go belly up if a franchising system is put in place.
