Teamsters Walkout at Dean Powers Truck Firm
The Teamsters staged a Tuesday walkout in front of Dean Powers Co on Highway 30 after an employee strike. Pickets halted business at nearby service station and restaurant. Manager Saluri claims secondary boycotting and notes two firms named Powers Truck Port and the Irish Inn are not involved in the TRAER dispute. The union cites a state grant for a remedial reading program with 180 students to start June 6 elementary and May 31 high school sessions, with classes run by local principals and counselors. The firm employs 17 men and most want union representation. Johnson says the union will meet but is not recognized.
