Company’s Unfair Labor Practices Push Workers to Picket Line

(ENFIELD, Conn) – A group of 20 Teamsters at i-Health has been forced to go on strike because of the company’s assault on their rights.

After i-Health refused to bargain in good faith for months and unleashed an onslaught of unfair labor practices, these workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. After two days on the picket line, the company fired 11 full-time workers and one temporary worker without just-cause.

“It’s outrageous what this company is doing to us,” said Lawrence Sanchez, a worker at i-Health and member of Teamsters Local 671. “They think they can push us around and play games with our lives and livelihoods. But we won’t stand for it.”

I hope more Americans realize organized labor is the only countervailing force to organized money.

Maybe a little self help in the election would have made sense, but as Teamster President Sean O’Brien said, what has the Democratic Party done for the Teamsters in the past 40
Years. I would say, the Democratic Party has done a lot……. And as the kids say, fuck around and find out, we’ll, unfortunately organized labor is at the find out part of the cycle.
