Hallett Movers Strike
12/29/2011 - 4:51pm

Hallett Movers struck Thursday, December 29, 2011 at 6:30 am.  Hallett has refused to sign their contract.  Two meetings to wrap things up were canceled by the company because they were “too busy to meet.”   Refusing to sign a contract is an unfair labor practice.  Thursday, Hallett had so much work over 30 movers were coming to help out.  In a bold move, the Union Representative, Richard de Vries caucused with the members and they unanimously said shut it down.  7:14 a.m. the dispatcher came running out with an email from the owners agreeing to sign.  Direct action wins.  Happy New Year from the militant movers at Hallett.
