...The company tries to punish you whenever you question what they do. I thank God we won! I'm crying, I'm so happy. Power is now is our hands! " said Maria Romero, a driver's assistant. "I told that union buster he was wasting his time. I said, 'If you were trapped in a coal mine for 15 years and you saw light at the end of the tunnel, wouldn't you go for it? Well, that's what the workers here feel.' And we went for the light -- Teamsters Local 1205 -- and we won!" said Julie Assabi, a driver in Bohemia. "These hardworking Long Islanders showed great courage in the face of illegal threats, bully tactics, and massive lies put forward by their employer, as Baumann tried to scare them away from voting for their best interest," said Timothy Lynch, President of Local 1205. "Now, with the workers' growing unity and sense of the economic justice they deserve as human beings, I have no doubt that together we'll be able to negotiate a union contract that will greatly improve their lives." The Baumann workers had the support of a broad range of prominent political, community and faith leaders in their efforts to join Teamsters Local 1205, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY), and New York Governor David Paterson. The Baumann Monitoring Commission, a volunteer commission made up of community leaders throughout Long Island, stood up for the workers' right to organize free of interference and intimidation from their employer, whose anti-union campaign included high-priced "union avoidance consultants." More than 40 prominent political and community leaders also signed an "Appeal for Justice" to Baumann, urging the company to respect the workers' right to organize."
