The Red Cross is facing a strike by D.C.- and Baltimore-area blood drive workers, a move that would hamstring an organization already reeling from Superstorm Sandy.
Teamsters Local 311, which includes about 50 Red Cross drivers and supply clerks who provide blood drive support, sent the organization a notice of intent to strike beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 16. The strike can be avoided if the two sides reach a contract agreement before then.
"We feel like it's irresponsible," said Red Cross spokesman Anthony Tornetta. "Now is not the time to do something like this."
Unions dont care. they have the support of the administration. Look at new york and jersey. they turned back electrical help because they weren't union workers. Then whine because they don't have help.
ReplyDeleteSo, if that's the case when we donate to the Red Cross we are paying Union Drivers wages, not on my dollar!
