More than 300 truck drivers and warehouse workers, used for the distribution of Heidelberg, one of the largest beer wholesalers in the country would have been the location of the informational blockade of key distribution facilities across the Ohio to protest against the labor policies of the company. And if the workers' demands are not met, beer in Ohio and delivery of wine is a threat to run at least partially dry this summer.
The Teamsters have launched billboards around the area of Dayton, who says: "Say Budweiser:. The loss of jobs in Ohio is in bad taste" the union official press release appearing on PR Newswire said:
"The last thing we want is a strike, but only the Heidelberg Management remains committed to our members in a corner," said Varney Richmond, president of Teamsters Local 957. The local represents more than 100 drivers truck and warehouse workers at the center of Heidelberg, the distribution of the Dayton area, which distributes Anheuser Busch products including Budweiser.
"Heidelberg is trying to move away from its obligation to provide medical care for retirees and employees of the strength to accept an inferior contract from Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Miller distributors in the region," said Richmond. "Our members have shown their willingness to take conservation measures when management focused on legitimate issues. But in this case the company can not justify their development. "
And reports indicate Heidelberg local conflicts could spread to other collective agreements in force for more than 300 employees in distribution centers in Ohio four Heidelberg. The result could be widespread labor dispute in the state. Press release of the Teamsters union went on:
"Despite the huge profits and sales management seeks drastic reduction of these workers," said Greg Nowak, Teamsters International representative of the Conference of the beverage of the European Union. "If Heidelberg wants to wage war on workers, the company will have to answer all their employees and the communities that support your business."
Another battle of the Union may have begun.
