United Auto Workers And Freightliner in Class Action Loom
A federal class-action racketeering lawsuit was filed by five workers against the United Auto Workers and Freightliner, an Oregon-based truck manufacturer, alleging that union officials and company managers agreed to wage and benefit cuts at nonunion plants in North Carolina in 2002 in exchange for valuable company assistance in organizing those workers.
The lawsuit contains four alleged RICO violations at Freightliner’s plants in Mount Holly, Gastonia and Cleveland.
However, U-A-W President Ron Gettelfinger says the charges against the union won’t stick. He says a majority of workers have voted in favor of union representation at manufacturing plants in Gastonia and Cleveland.
