Teamsters Local 284 has been forced to expand its picket line against Sutphen Corporation to the company’s facility in Urbana, Ohio. The strike action against Sutphen began May 28 at the Dublin, Ohio, facility after the Teamsters filed a ULP against the company for failing to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement.



The nearly 100 Sutphen Teamsters, who assemble vital apparatuses for firefighters across the nation, have been working under an expired contract since October. The company has repeatedly refused to negotiate a new contract and has now brought in nonunion scabs from its Urbana facility to work in Dublin. It's time for Sutphen to come back to the bargaining table with the Teamsters and give our members the fair deal they deserve.
