Reply #39: My seven teamster positions

[razors edge]

have been teamster since 1962, and if the company wanted to they could have done away with the union many years ago. There is no pressure to keep these jobs union, nor any shortage of applicants to replace them at a greatly reduced rate.

Sometimes it just protects the company as well as the union, since we have no responsibility for the teamsters retirement nor insurance, if they get f**ked over it isn't something to come back on our small company.

Ohio is an at will state and have I gone to the joint area committee to dismiss employees, while it does provide protection against stupid shit like retribution, or firing for a simple mistake, I still had no problem removing any employee who needed it.
