Teamster Pipeline Construction Workers Launch Strike
"WASHINGTON – More than 700 Teamster pipeline construction workers across the country are preparing to strike after negotiations failed with the Pipe Line Contractors Association over unreasonable contract demands by the profitable industry that would gut workers’ retirement security.
The strike started with about 200 Teamsters in Pennsylvania and West Virginia walking off the job."
