HOLDING THE LINE AT BLANDIN PAPER
Teamsters at Blandin Paper Company are standing strong after nearly two weeks on the picket line. The Local 346 members went on strike on July 15 after rejecting a pathetic contract offer that would retain an unfair two-tier benefits system alongside paltry wage increases.
“Teamsters in Northern Minnesota know how to strike,” said Zak Radzak, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 346. “We’re going to hold this line as long as it takes.”
In a show of strength last week, Local 346 held a major rally with the support of Teamsters Joint Council 32 and Local 120 along with local elected officials in attendance.
Local 346 members won’t stop fighting until Blandin Paper makes a serious offer.
“If Blandin Paper has forgotten who runs this company, we are happy to remind them day-in and day-out on the picket line for as long as it takes,” said Steve Carlson, a Blandin Paper winder operator and shop steward.
