Energizer outsourcing

[Truthspeaker]

[OT+]

The loss for these members, many with decades of Teamster seniority, will be devastating, Outsourcing to another cheaper labor environment is nothing new, Teamsters have lost tens of thousands of members as a result. These are jobs with incomes that are hard to replace for the individuals and the loss of membership is a drain on the power of the union. With all the emphasis on organizing that appears to be going on, its still not replacing losses from closings or shifting work to nonunion facilities. The national reach of our union needs to be brought to bare on companies that try to run away from our contracts.

At some point we have to show this company that we can make life miserable for them where ever they move.
