NLRB CONFIRMS SPURLINO MATERIALS' LABOR ACT VIOLATIONS AT PORTABLE AND FIXED INDIANA PLANTS

摘要

After probing the nuts & bolts of ready mixed concrete dispatching, scheduling of pro-union drivers based on seniority, and front- versus rear-discharge mixer truck operation, the National Labor Relations Board has resolved a protracted dispute over alleged unfair labor practices in Indianapolis. In a recent 27-page decision, the board ordered Spurlino Materials, LLC to compensate drivers for lost wages tied to work-scheduling violations and adhere to collective bargaining practices with Teamsters-affiliated Local 716 (Coal, Ice, Building Material, Supply Drivers, Riggers, Heavy Haulers, Warehousemen and Helpers), certified to represent drivers and batch operators.
