6. The First Petition

 

PETITON FOR EQUAL PAY & BENEFITS

FOR ALL BRIDGE TENDERS SUBCONTRACTED

UNDER THE FDOT AGREEMENT WITH ICA

We the West Coast Bridge Tenders with our signatures below submit this petition to ISS Management to change your capricious, disparate and unfair treatment of bridge tenders performing subcontracted services under the blanket Agreement between ICA and FDOT. We demand an immediate increase of wages and benefits to equal those you provide to South Florida Bridge Tenders, or the higher of the prevailing benefit package to the highest paid worker of comparable seniority performing the same job description under the same Agreement or future Agreements, with the back pay differential to the date of your contract with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 487, plus accrued interest from that date at 3.25%.

We further authorize the Organizing Committee to collectively bargain with ISS, inform ICA, FDOT, other interested parties, and to approach appropriate union local(s) on our behalf, until such time as nominations can be made and elections can be held appointing a Worker’s Committee to whom the Organizing Committee will surrender this authority.
