ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In an election
conducted today by the National Labor Relations Board at Con-way
Freight's Portland, OR maintenance

examining the issues, and ultimately expressing their confidence in
the company. "I want to thank our employees for the thorough and
careful consideration they gave to this matter and for voting to
remain union-free," said Dagnese. "We continue to believe that our
best path forward is one where we are focused on our customers,
