September 1, 2009 - Seeking better wages, benefits, improved work schedules and equitable duty rotation, 29 workers employed at Lockheed Martin and 38 workers employed at Fed Services Inc. at Ft. Stewart, Hinesville, GA, voted by over 90 percent to join the IAM.
The workers drive school buses on base for the soldier’s families, and provide transportation services on the base.
“We already have some IAM contracts on the base,” said Southern Territory Organizer Joe Greaser. “Our members of Local 2917 in Hinesville, GA, do a great job of organizing on the base. I want to thank Rick Harris, Leon Carroll, and Larry Kirby for their hard work.”
“Our strong contracts in the Service Contract arena speak for themselves,” said Southern Territory GVP Bob Martinez. “I want to congratulate the organizing team for a job well done, and welcome to our newest members.”
