5. Request for ICA Intervention

June 5, 2013

Mr. Richie Rhoades,

ICA Systems Operations Manager

1719 Apex Rd, Unit B, Sarasota, FL 34240

Dear Mr. Rhoades,

This is to inform you of the dialog we attempted to have with ISS and provide you with copies of the correspondence that led to our decision to organize. Please note the enclosed appeals, the basis of our arguments and our demand for fair and equal treatment.  Excuse any duplication in the event Messrs. Hartman or Howard previously shared the dissatisfaction of the West Coast Florida Bridge Tenders with you.

We appreciate the sense of fair play you demonstrated with your outspoken support of a pay increase at our last annual training. On review of the enclosed you will see we share your desire for a positive working relationship: “Let’s work together to make the FDOT Agreement with ICA a model of fair outsourcing and good labor relations.” You’ll see we’re simply asking ISS to do the right thing.

Most of us love our job and have a good relationship with your company. We invite you to work with us in creating an equitable balance between ISS and its bridge tender (not facility cleaner) employees. The responsibility of our position demands greater respect and increased consideration. We thank you in advance for helping us meet this goal and look forward to receiving your support.

Sincerely yours,

The Organizing Committee

(Until such time as the petition is complete and our Organizing Committee has standing, please respond to us at: Exploitingtenders@Gmail.com).
