XPO-run logistics facility latest to bounce Teamsters

The Teamsters have been voted out of representing workers at an XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) facility in New Jersey.

For the second time in a relatively short period, the move to push the Teamsters out of representing workers came with the assistance of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation.

The vote to decertify the Teamsters was confirmed in a certification notice posted Monday by the National Labor Relations Board. “It is certified that a majority of the valid ballots has not been cast for any organization and that no labor organization is the exclusive representative of the employees in the bargaining unit described below,” the statement said.

XPO announced the decertification vote March 17. However, it did not become official until the NLRB decertification.

 
This all taking place while the administration is pushing unions hard. It will be interesting to see whether unions gain or lose ground over the next four years.
 
Another union might step in.

Teamsters aren't just truck drivers anymore. They've got people folding towels in hospitals being represented. All unions have been struggling for membership for a long time. Except some of the really big ones.

One of the trucking companies out east (NEMF) was represented by some machinists union or something. That was before I left NY, and one of the reasons I left was because the good jobs were so difficult to even get on as a casual to have a change at being full time and then in the unions.

On both coasts some unions are a fixture and that's that.

Longshoremen, meat cutters, etc.
