UFCW Local 175 members at National Car Rental on Atwell Drive in Etobicoke began legal strike action on March 11, 2011.

The 95 workers voted down the most recent ‘offer’ from the company at a vote held March 10. Workers are picketing at the Garage and Terminals 1 and 3 at Pearson International Airport handing out information flyers to consumers looking to rent vehicles through National.

“The employer, whose parent company is Enterprise, tabled numerous concessions in this round of negotiations and threatened to contract out the workers’ jobs if they didn’t achieve $2 million in savings,” explains Shawn Haggerty, president of UFCW Local 175. “It’s one of the most successful car rental companies in the world and these kinds of demands are unwarranted. The workers are taking a stand with the full support of their Union.”

“These concessions constitute nothing more than an attempt to gut this contract. These workers make a fair wage right now and if the company gets its way some workers would face losing up to $4.50 an hour, making them the lowest paid in the industry.”

In addition to dramatic wage cuts, the company’s insulting demands include reducing sick days and eliminating religious holidays. They want to decrease vacation pay and weaken seniority pro­­visions by assigning overtime at the company’s discretion. The employer is also looking to force employees to pay 100% of the premiums for their health and welfare benefits.

“This big powerful U.S. company wants to dismantle the rights of workers and threaten the well-being of their families,” says Haggerty. “These concessions are outrageous and these hard-working people deserve better.”

Local 175 also represents workers at Budgetcar, Hertz, Aviscar, and Dollar Thrifty in a number of locations across the Greater Toronto Area.
