TEAMSTERS FILE NATIONWIDE UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE CHARGES AGAINST AIRGAS
Teamsters allege Airgas retaliated against workers with unlawful terminations, suspensions, lockouts, threats, and permanent replacements across 15 facilities in 11 states.
- The Teamsters filed nationwide unfair labor practice charges against Airgas, which began after the union's strike on June 2, the union said.
- After Teamsters Local 701 in New Brunswick, N.J., was forced to the picket line, Teamsters Local 507 and Local 283 joined soon after, expanding the action.
- Airgas allegedly responded with terminations and suspensions, with the union saying members were unlawfully fired in Pennsylvania and California while permanent replacements occurred in Ohio and New Jersey.
- Union leaders say Teamsters members and their families have been harmed by management actions, and Teamsters membership seeking return to work face alleged retaliation, Juan Campos said.
- Given the Teamsters' national reach, the filings have broad significance as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, representing 1.3 million people, allege Airgas has a history of safety and labor violations.
