Last Nights Union meeting was quite eventful.
Strike Vote
Our Teamsters Local 320 brothers and sisters have voted to go on strike in St. Louis County, MN.
The Duluth News Tribune has an article about this:
Talks with the Teamsters, who repair and drive the county’s road graders and snowplows during winter months, are being mediated by the State Bureau of Mediation Services.
The Teamsters have informed the state they will strike as early as Jan. 19 if a new contract isn’t settled. They are the only bargaining unit in the county that has authorized a strike.
They had already agreed to a wage freeze, but St. Louis County pushed it farther and wanted them to give up seniority!
Hopefully St. Louis County will see the light before it's too late. If the strike does happen hopefully it will be shorter then our Hennepin County strike in 1981.
Proposed by-laws changes:
Two by-laws changes were put forth last night. They will be discussed at February's meeting and voted on in March.
1. (Introduced by Dave Deal) That all 320 Officer and BA salary increases must be voted on by members.
2. (Introduced by Wade Laszlo) That "Just Cause" be applied to business agents for discipline and dismissal.
