Knock the FatOff the Teamsters
Times are hard. High prices drain our pocketbooks and attack our earnings. We bring our groceries homein half empty bags. Gas grows even more expensive and our children go hungry and tattered. We muststretch every dollar and save every cent.
We need to feed ourselves and our families, but our wages are lower than all other workers because ouremployers knifed us in the back with their sweetheart contracts.
We need to pay our rents, but our money runs out because our employers signed with the company unionrather than let us do our own negotiating.
We need protection against on-the-job injuries, but our friends and relatives fall under machines, breathin pesticides with their air and die electrocuted from ill-kept equipment because the grower's sweetheartcontract is not worth the paper it is written on.
We need medical care, but we never see the benefits promised us because the company union serves theemployer and not the workers.
We need the benefits and services a real union can provide, but the dues we pay to the company unionbuys jet planes, big houses and mink coats for Teamster presidents and their wives.
The employer is a bloodsucker. He takes our hard earned pay and gives it to corrupt company union officials so they can line their pockets and fill their bellies.
The company union's dues is like a knife in our back. We never see our dues money and we never see thebenefits that are promised us.
We know what the score is. Why put good money after bad? Why give away dollars when we get nothingin return ? Money is to scarce and prices are too high to pay tribute to a company union that producesnothing but empty prom}ses.
We need a real union to protect us. We need to remove the knife from our back. STOP THEBLEEDING!!! STOP THE DUES!!!

Se A cabo fa Pkitica:
Basta de Alitnentar ZanganosHermanas y Hermanos:No estamos luchando para engordar a los ricos. Como dijo San Pablo: algunos no trabajan en nada y seentretienen con 10 ajeno. No paguemos mas las cuotas a los Teamsters. No colaboremos mas en llenar susbolsillos. No colaboremos mas con la injusticia.i,En d6nde esta el dinero de las cuotas que cobran los Teamsters? i,D6nde estan los miles de d6lares queno,s han sacado? i,Tienen algun fondo especial para proteger a los campesinos?Los bur6cratas no han podido ni pueden responder a estas preguntas. Sus hechos si responden por ellos:sueldos de 100.000 d6lares, una "casita" nueva para Fitzsimmons, viajes en sus aviones privados...jhasta cuando nos van a seguir usando! jNo paguemos mas las cuotas a los Teamsters!
Bajo los contratos de los Teamsters, i,hay algun comite de seguridad que vigile y evite los accidentes detrabajo? i,que evite el abuso de pesticidas? i,hay protecci6n contra los pesticidas?
Estas son otras preguntas que los bur6cratas no pueden contestar. Pero los hechos responden por ellos:trabajadores muertos en los files, envenenamiento por los pesticidas... jhasta cuando van a jugar connuestras vidas! jNo paguemos mas las cuotas a los Teamsters!jY que se atajen este alacran! No paguemos mas las cuotas. No seamos c6mplices de sus movidas chuecasdandoles nuestro dinero.jViva la Causa! jNo paguemos mas las cuotas a los Teamsters! jSi se puede!jUnidos venceremos! jNo paguemos mas las cuotas a los Teamsters!
