FROM: Daniel Grace, Secretary-Treasurer, Teamsters Local 830 The Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters has announced that it supports Teamsters Local 830 in its efforts to protect its members' jobs and officially endorses Local 830's boycott of Yuengling products. UPDATED 4/24/06: Read the official Resolution here. SITUATION: On March 9, 2006, D.G. Yuengling & Son withdrew union recognition, declaring it would no longer continue negotiating with Teamsters Local 830 Mgmt. Yet, the contract between Teamsters Local No. 830 and D.G. Yuengling & Son did not expire until March 31, 2006. By these actions D.G. Yuengling & Son is jeopardizing the working standards, conditions and livelihoods of many hard-working Local 830 workers whose efforts and dedication have helped this local company achieve the national acclaim and success they now enjoy. Several attempts by Local 830 management to resume good faith negotiations in hopes of coming to a fair and amicable agreement have been spurned by the beverage manufacturer. Local 830 has filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board, which are pending. HOW CAN YOU HELP? 1) In support of those local 830 workers whose livelihoods are now in jeopardy because of this very serious situation, the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters is urging Philadelphia area union members, their families and supporters, as well as local tavern owners and liquor licensed establishments and all those who patronize these establishments, NOT TO PURCHASE the following Yuengling brands until further notice: Yuengling Premium Beer, Yuengling Light, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Dark Brewed Porter, Traditional Lager, Light Lager, and Original Black & Tan. 2) Local 830 urges you to contact D.G. Yuengling & Son at the address and/or phone number below and express your support for the workers of Teamsters Local 830. Let them know you will not purchase or consume their products until they resume good faith negotiations with the Local, recognize the union, and demonstrate their willingness to maintain fair working conditions, wages and standards. Yuengling Brewery Additional information is available on the company web site at http://www.yuengling.com/contact.htm. 3) SPREAD THE WORD about this situation to your fellow union members, family, friends, local taverns and liquor establishments, etc. and ask them to boycott Yuengling products and support Local 830 as well. We thank you very much for your support! UNITE HERE Properties under Boycott

Operating Engineers Local 542 The American Red Cross - Blood Drives
Please do not sponsor any Blood Drives for the American Red Cross If you want to give blood please use the following centers: University of Pennsylvania Temple University Health Sciences Center Methodist Hospital Division Thomas Jefferson University Hospital A Letter From Robert T. Heenan, Business Manager, Operating Engineers Local 542 I am writing to alert you to a problem we are having with the American Red Cross. In May of last year this Local won an election unanimously among the bio-med techs employed at the Red Cross facility in Philadelphia. Not even a week after the election, Management retaliated against these employees by taking away breaks and changing other conditions. Since then we have been bargaining but they refuse to come to a fair agreement. I am sure that you're aware that their labor relations history is full of strikes and anti-union campaigning. On behalf of this Local, I am requesting that you inform Pennsylvania affiliates of our dispute with the American Red Cross and ask them not to cooperate or hold any Blood Drives with The American Red Cross until they treat their employees fairly and sign a contract. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Very truly yours, Robert T. Heenan |
