Ron Carey Company Quotations

We believe that as the company grows, so should the jobs grow. The company believes just the opposite, and that is to grow more part-time jobs, to subcontract -- to steal away the American dream,

What the union historically has done is gone in, negotiate a contract, then brought it back to its members when they reached agreement. What the company has been dictating and intimidating and threatening people is that they want to shove this contract down the members' throats. That has never been done in the past,

We have seen no sign that the company has changed its attitude, so we are not particularly optimistic about these new talks,

They have voted on it, ... They are voting today by walking the pavement, by letting the company know that they are not about to have any contract jammed down their throat. This is the new Teamsters. We do not operate as was done in the past.
