UAW files charges against Peterbilt

The UAW has filed unfair labor practice charges against Peterbilt Motors, the Seattle-based heavy truck manufacturer.

The company locked out more than 700 UAW members in Madison, Tennessee on September 2. “This lockout is causing real hardship for our members and their families at Peterbilt,” said Gary Casteel, director of UAW Region 8, which includes Tennessee. “We’ve made every effort to resolve our differences at the bargaining table, but the company simply refuses to work with us.” The unfair labor practice charge, filed with the National Labor Relations Board in Memphis, states that Peterbilt refused to provide the UAW with information requested by union representatives.
