SUTPHEN TEAMSTERS STRIKE IN OHIO OVER UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES

Taxpayer-Funded, Union-Busting Employer Refuses to Bargain in Good Faith

DUBLIN, Ohio, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters Local 284 members at the Sutphen Corporation's Dublin facility were forced to the picket line today, May 28 after their employer refused to bargain in good faith. Local 284 has filed an unfair labor practice charge (ULP) against the employer for failing to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement.

The 88 Teamsters at the Dublin facility produce and assemble apparatuses that fire fighters across the nation use to save lives. The contract between the company and the Teamsters expired on October 12, 2024, after Sutphen repeatedly refused to meet.

Teamsters are demanding a contract that includes better pay, health care, and job security.
