One thing you can count on in a labor dispute: Anything bad will be seized upon by the union. Take yesterday, when, the union says, a non-union driver took his hands off the steering wheel of a tanker truck carrying flammable cargo “to make a threatening gesture to a UFCW Local 23D member on strike, and the truck veered out of control and flipped over.
“Heaven Hill is putting profits over the health and safety of its workers and the Bardstown community and today’s dangerous tanker truck incident is sadly just the latest example. Heaven Hill also cut the healthcare of its workers and retirees immediately after they spoke out for a stronger contract and went on strike this past month,” said Matt Aubrey, president, United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 23D, which represents the strikers.”
The strike is now in its fourth week.
