AIRGAS TEAMSTERS WIN REINSTATEMENT, BACK PAY AFTER YEAR-LONG LOCK OUT
Twenty-Four Teamsters Local 283 members in Ferndale, Michigan, won their arbitration case after being illegally locked out by Airgas for nearly a year.
An arbitrator ordered that these workers be reinstated with full back pay and benefits following the lockout.
The Teamsters endured nearly a year of hardship and did not cross the picket line during the lockout.
This arbitration victory shows that employers who violate workers' rights will be held accountable, and the Teamsters Union continues to defend its members.
