SEIU-Organized Plant To Close In Pa

A St. Louis mail-order drug-distributor announced, Oct. 8, that it will close a warehouse facility on Marshall Lane in Bensalem, Pa. on Dec. 16 and the union which represents the workers has responded by basically saying "Oh Yeah! Better not!".

The union contract expires Dec. 15.

What was actually said by union organizer Bill Ragen at a rally last night in Trevose was "We have to make it more expensive for them to shut it down than for them to keep it open."

We get our scripts from that plant - the last year their service has been gradually slower and slower. Yesterday we got a script from them - the ‘child-proof’ cap was off the bottle and the pills were in the bag. I’m sure the Union is way more careful with the orders now that they’re being ‘let go’. I am looking forward to the convenience of going to a local pharmacy next year. At least I can yell at them in person when they screw up.

OK, If my team wins one because of a bad call, I’m still happy we won, but the Business wanted 8.8 million in concessions and the union ?only? would agree to 8 million?

I have no love for the SEIU but the union agreed to 90% of their request... Isn’t it usually the other way around??

That being said, The People still scored on this one, and unions lost.

"Government employees should not be able to join unions in my opinion."

A lot of us have been saying that for 50 years.

I suspect the company was looking to end its relationship with this bunch and it any excuse they found was going to be enough.

And you really can't blame them considering.
