Dear Fellow Teamster:
Calling all hands on deck!
Local Union 509 as well as many other Local Unions throughout the country are finding out that demands to the company are often tough to accomplish. However, if our demands are mandated by government, then because of the mandate, company’s must comply. We must keep pressure on the company’s but we must apply great pressure to our political leaders. With that said, Local Union 509 request that each and every member contact the South Carolina Governors Office and the Congressman / Congresswomen in your district.
Governor Henry McMasters office phone numbers is 803-734-2100. If you can’t call, fax is office a letter. His fax number is 803-734-5167.
Also call capital hills switchboard in Washington DC at 202-224-3121. The switchboard will connect you to your congressman’s office.
Here’s the wording to use when calling these leaders.
I am a worker who is considered essential and I am exposed to the danger of contracting the Coronovirus on daily basis as I work in service of the company, the customer and the community. Moreover, each and every day when I return home I put my family at risk. The company’s are requiring us to work without adequate protection. I am calling your office to request that you sponsor an immediate emergency mandate that requires employeers to provide specific PPE equipment, sanitizers and cleanliness of all buildings and equipment used while I work for the employer. Any employer who does not comply should be shut down and fined. Additionally, if the employer does not comply with the mandate, the employee should be allowed to refused to work with no ramifications. As a citizen and voter, I respectfully request your assistance.
James Todd or of course attach your name.
