US Foods Accused of Unfair Labor Practices as Executives Deal with Growing Number of Unresolved Labor Contracts
(WASHINGTON) – The Teamsters Warehouse Division and numerous Teamster locals currently in contract negotiations with US Foods [NYSE: USFD] are putting the foodservice giant on notice that work stoppages are imminent. Workers at a growing number of US Foods Distribution Centers throughout the East Coast are considering the possibility of walking off the job following an increasing number of unresolved labor contracts.
Workers at several of these locations say the company has violated federal labor laws, and US Foods is currently being investigated by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for several allegations of unfair labor practices (ULPs). The allegations include illegal terminations, unilaterally changing working conditions and bargaining in bad faith with union representatives.
“US Foods executives seem more interested in how they can violate the rights of their essential employees than they do in offering them a fair return on their work. My members have patiently tried to work in good faith to negotiate an agreement, but they’ve had enough,” said Todd Robertson, President of Teamsters Local 171 in Salem, Va.
A work stoppage is possible for US Foods Distribution for the East Coast. A harbinger of things to come?

Seems like the Teamsters want the majority of America to turn against them by striking during this recession and amid an already painful supply chain problem.

I'm thinking the Teamsters strikes are planned to be the 2022 version of 2020's BLM riots. Timing seems a mite too ...suspicious? ...coordinated? ...convenient?
