Concrete drivers still not back at work despite offer to return
It could be several days before some of the region's striking concrete delivery truck drivers are back on the job despite Teamsters Local 174's offer late Monday afternoon to have those drivers back in their cabs the next day.
The plant owners still need to tell the workers when to show up, said the union. As of Tuesday afternoon, those orders had not yet come, though the companies said they were working on return-to-work plans.
A representative for the concrete companies said union members could return to their jobs at any time. However, Salmon Bay Sand & Gravel President Paul Nerdrum faxed a letter to the union Monday stating, "Under the law, we have five days to process the orderly reinstatement of the strikers." Nerdrum added the company would contact the union "in the very near future to discuss our proposed orderly reinstatement."
He was unavailable to comment.
