¡¡¡¡SI NO VAN A UTILIZARTE, VAN A PERDERTE!!!!

Pregúntese a sí mismo…

¿Tiene una Licencia de Conductor de Vehículo Comercial (CDL) en regla?



¿Tiene una licencia Clase “A” o “B”?

¿Está usted cesado de su trabajo de refrescos como chofer de vehículo comercial CDL?

¿Hay de 10 a 20 choferes que son cesados cada semana en su instalación porque la gerencia no programa correctamente los horarios?

¿Hay choferes cesados porque la gerencia manipula los horarios para ahorrarse horas extras?

¿Hay choferes cesados porque la gerencia se niega a resolver problemas con los vendedores?

Si respondió que sí a estas preguntas, entonces…

 

Deje de estar siendo cesado entre 2 y 3 días a la semana cuando puede estar trabajando la semana completa.

No pierda un valioso tiempo de la UNIÓN SINDICAL esperando a la llamada telefónica para saber si tal vez haya trabajo o si hay trabajo cuando usted sabe que podría estar trabajando.


Usted no resultará perjudicado como comerciante, ayudante o truck chaser cuando maneja para una empresa de cervezas del Sindicato Local 812 todos los días. El Sindicato Local 812 representa a trabajadores de empresas cerveceras como Heineken, Miller, Budweiser, que están SIEMPRE buscando buenos choferes con licencia CDL.

Si su empresa de refrescos no aprecia su licencia CDL, las empresas de cervezas sí lo harán. El Sindicato Local 812 representa a empresas de cervezas que tienen el mismo seguro médico y pensiones que las compañías de refrescos, y los choferes de cervezas representados por el 812 están entre los choferes mejor pagados del país.

Deje de perder un tiempo valioso esperando llamadas telefónicas para avisarle si tal vez haya trabajo o si hay trabajo. Estas empresas de cervezas asegurarán que usted esté trabajando. ¡¡¡Quieren tener buenos choferes y los hacen trabajar!!!



No pierda un VALIOSO tiempo de pensión ni arriesgue perder COBERTURA MÉDICA porque su ACTUAL empresa de refrescos no encuentra trabajo para usted o trata de darles el trabajo de usted a terceras partes.

Comuníquese con nosotros y le ayudaremos a solicitar un Puesto de Chofer CDL con una de nuestras cervecerías.
