Experience Matters Slate
“EMS- you absolutely got my support.”
“EMS ! Fuck the rest!”
“I’ll be supporting you 100% and spreading the word.”
“For 6 years EMS has fought relentlessly to get improvements for p/t, f/t, & retirees alike. They led the charge getting all of us through the pandemic safely and also fought for us through contract negotiations and a potential strike. My question is where were the rest of the nominees ? Vote EMS!”
“EMS has done so much for this local in the last 6 years, I can’t imagine why we’d vote for anyone else.”
“Solidarity is what we all must work together to achieve… as a retiree, it’s great to see this local spreading its wings. EMS is a great group of leaders that just want the best for its members.”
“You have my vote!”
“EMS goes toe to toe with this company every day and are not afraid to deliver the knockout punch. They’ve got my vote.”
“I can’t imagine that there are people out there that think they could do a better job than this team has been doing.”
“Pension increases, strong contracts, lower co-pays, educating members, and empowering stewards..EMS continues to raise the bar for its members now and in the future.”
“Scott has ALWAYS been there for us insiders. Following up on grievances & making sure we get our fair day’s work. Never has he led us astray. Whenever we had a question regarding work or our contract, he was there for us with an answer. This is a man that works for the betterment of our brothers and sisters. I speak from my own experience, and I trust Scott with my livelihood and have on several occasions. This is our BA until the day he retires.”
“When I first became a Teamster, it was right when our slate now went into office after winning the election. So I went around and talked to as many drivers as I could, some with 12,14,20, and 30+ years to have a better understanding of what the previous slates were like and what we expected to get now. Most common response was that our previous slate was weak and the company had too much power over the members. Company would do whatever they wanted at any point and the union would not fight back or in some cases side with management leaving our members out to dry. Then I started to seeing things for myself and seen that how all the bad habits from management were still there and they would try to push on us but were not able to since our union was stronger than they ever was. Now through the last few years I have seen the difference in how strong our union is now and not just by my dealing with management on a daily basis but from all the senior drivers coming to us and telling us how great of a job we’re doing and how protected they feel by all the work our present slate has done so far. My response is always “we are not done yet”. “
“Great job Vincent Perrone and the entire EMS slate, you guys got my vote.”
“Rocky has helped me on many things. Good man.”
“There’s nobody that works harder for this union than Scott Damone. His attention to detail and what’s right is 2nd to none, even if you’re in the wrong he’s got your back. Local 804 is lucky to have him.”
“Great bio. EMS will win by a landslide.”
“Rocky DiPaolo is the epitome of a great Teamster!”
“These guys have done a great job with the pension, medical etc. They have my support and they should have yours. They got my vote.”
“I am a 18 year driver from the Fordham center in my short time with the company I have seen a couple of different leaderships in the local 804 union . With the leadership of E.m.s slate as we currently have the members have had our co pays reduced back to $10 we have had three pension increases ,expanded medical coverage stronger union representation “
“You go above & beyond. You made a difference. Thank you for everything.”
“Scott’s real knowledgeable & a hard working BA who makes a difference in my building.”
“No need for change, the best board in the business!”
“Part of why I support EMS is because they just do the job, and do it well. No dirty union politics. You don’t have to be a supporter for them to give their 100%. That’s the job. Best administration in my 35 years at UPS. I know my future is secure with EMS.”
“I’m proud to have you & EMS to represent us and I know you guys will continue to do what is right for the members.”
“Are we better off today here at local 804 than we were 6 years ago when EMS were first elected ? To anyone who hasn’t been around for many years, the answer is clear. With an increased pension, better wages, stronger health benefits the answer is yes…”
“I’m voting for the ones that get shit done!!”
“Experience matters…and that’s been shown. Just look how strong our local has grown. Let’s keep it growing, it can only get stronger. EMS all the way.”
“I’m voting EMS all the way for always doing their part.”
“We need to keep the fight going. Experience matters and that’s why we need to re-elect our current board. They got us the best local contract in the 18 years I’ve been at UPS.”
“The EMS slate is composed of dedicated Teamsters who consistently put in hard work and remain approachable to their members. They don’t take their positions for granted, showing up every day to advocate for workers. Their efforts have led to raising pensions, creating jobs, and fighting against layoffs throughout the local, proving their commitment to improving conditions for everyone.”
“Supporting EMS 100%”
“6 years later and it’s still the same. EMS all the way.”
“Y’all got my vote”
“I have on several occasions called Rocky for help and he has responded to me within hours of my request and I don’t know him personally. Never worked with him. Rocky is an asset to Local 804 and I appreciate the work he does for us.”
“You got my vote!!”
“Scott Damone always has my vote.”
“Damian Contreras is a stand up guy…I personally spent time with him during my IBT days and got to know him. I would gladly have him as part of the EMS team. I’ve seen him interact with our members in one on one setting and all had nothing but great things to say and were genuinely happy to see him.”
“I will vouch for Rocky as a dedicated Teamster, steward, and friend. I watched him always work hard for the members. Good hearted and well educated on being a great business agent.”
“EMS all the way ! Members should run on merit and EMS has gone above and beyond for this local ! A big shoutout to Dave Cintron, thank you for all you do at Foster ave. ! Your hard work, dedication and knowledge is always greatly appreciated!”
“I’ll be voting for the Slate of our current
executive board. Why fix what isn’t broken? Keep up the childish tactics.”
