Ok this is bullshit, plane an simple. Where I work has been non union for 40 years. The company was started by two brothers and has constantly grown over time.
Some ass bag in the trucking department decided that they needed to unionize and voted in the teamsters. Mind you this is an excellent company, just stellar, all employees are (or were but that is ending now that we have organized crime in side now) treated fairly and we are given allot of freedoms that now a days are not even thought of from an employers, we still enjoy.
PLEASE read the following press release we have submitted to AP and write, email, fax these union fucks and tell them what kind of low life shit they are for treating our service men and women they way the do.
Fuck them.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Company Condemns Teamsters Officials Calling Vietnam Vet âBaby Killerâ
CANTON, Mass., June 24, 2005âNortheast Electrical Distributors/Eagle Electric is calling on the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 25 to publicly apologize to Vietnam Veterans employed by the Company for using the term âbaby killerâ in reference to one of the Companyâs supervisors, a decorated Viet Nam veteran.
âFor Local 25 union officers to call anyone who has proudly served his country a âbaby killerâ has brought Local 25 to a new low,â states Lou Brady, Vice President of Operations who himself served during the Viet Nam era.
The Company, an electrical distributor with 17 locations in New England, is engaged in a labor dispute with infamous Teamsters Local 25. Teamsters Local 25 is the same union local that was under federal investigation for several years for shaking down movie producers in the Boston area, as well as allegedly having a woman beaten for refusing to turn her concession stand over to the Teamsters.
Amid union strike threats, Company locked out 30 drivers
On June 1st, after Local 25 officials threatened to call the Companyâs 30 unionized drivers out on strike, the company was forced to lock out its drivers to protect its customer service and the livelihoods of the Companyâs 345 other employees.
Immediately following the lock out, working employees, customers, and vendors were besieged with threats, physical intimidation, and vulgar name calling by union picketers and officers of the Teamsters Local 25.
Teamsters call Vietnam Vet âBaby Killerâ
On Friday, June 3, 2005, Teamster officers and picketers began calling one of the Companyâs supervisors âbaby killerâ from the picket line. Upon begin called this derogatory term, the supervisor (a man who proudly served his country during the Viet Nam War) took an immediate leave of absence. Upon leaving, the supervisor went home, donned his old military uniform, gathered two family members, his American and Marine Corps flags, and returned to confront the union officers and picketers with his patriotism.
âAlthough we shouldnât be surprised by anything this local does,â stated Brady, âto denigrate those of us who served our country during the Viet Nam War is unconscionable. Many of us lost good friends and many of us still carry scarsâphysical and emotional from that war.â
Company asks for help in denouncing Teamstersâ use of the term âBaby Killerâ
âWe are not asking for anyone to choose sides in this labor dispute,â states Lou Brady. âHowever, we are asking for our military brethren to either call or write a letter to the Teamsters Local 25 leadership and demand a public apology for disparaging our men and women who proudly served during Viet Nam.â
