“[Teamsters] said in the past that if there is a strike it will be the fault of the company for not stepping up and agreeing to the economic package being sought by the union despite having its earnings nearly double during the life of the current five-year contract.”
I don’t know what they’re going for in the contract but at the bare minimum the employees doing the actual work need to see more money for that work.
Best of luck Teamsters!
