Want Fries With That? Minnesota Menu Problems Attributed To Strike
If the next time you go out to eat at a local restaurant and your selection isn't available chances are that food item is caught up in a strike between Teamsters Local Union 705, and U.S. Foods. On Monday night in Becker, a restaurant was informing customers that turkey and waffle fries weren't available due to the strike.
The Teamsters Union announced the strike on their social media page earlier this week.
- Wage: For the last two years our members drove US Foods to record profits, and now US Foods repays them hoarding the profits for executives and blatantly ignoring our drivers' hard work and dedication. This isn't just stalling or bad faith bargaining; it's an outright assault on our drivers' worth.
On Tuesday Fox 9 in the Twin Cities reported about the strike and the effects it was having on local eateries. The strike is also affecting other cities and states including schools in Indiana.
According to Fox 9 "At this time, we are working diligently to mitigate any potential disruptions for our valued customers who are serviced from this facility," a US Foods spokesperson told FOX 9.
It's currently unclear how far away the sides are in their negotiations for a new contract with the Local Teamster Union 705.
