Company’s Unfair Labor Practices Push Workers to Picket Line

(ENFIELD, Conn) – A group of 20 Teamsters at i-Health has been forced to go on strike because of the company’s assault on their rights.

After i-Health refused to bargain in good faith for months and unleashed an onslaught of unfair labor practices, these workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. After two days on the picket line, the company fired 11 full-time workers and one temporary worker without just-cause.

“It’s outrageous what this company is doing to us,” said Lawrence Sanchez, a worker at i-Health and member of Teamsters Local 671. “They think they can push us around and play games with our lives and livelihoods. But we won’t stand for it.”
