are sometimes brought in to clarify issues and suggest possible solutions.
Testimonial
"I was there when we brought the Union in. The first-time contract they won for us was unbelievable. It changed the quality of my life. I am now a Shop Steward and enjoy working with my Union and looking after my fellow workers. "
- Paul Landrecht - Shop Steward. Island Farms Dairy.
"I
have been a member of Teamsters Local 464 for 23 years and have seen many of
the executives come and go. Some of the previous executives nearly ran the
Local into bankruptcy including losing our pension. Bobby Kornhass, Bob
Ryder and Paul Barton brought us back from the brink. Since they took over in
2000, we at Dairyland (Saputo) have had the best contracts I have seen since I
have been there."
- Randy Onyschak
"I was employed for many years at a Teamster company that was shut down due to the economy. Because of my age, I was worried about starting over. Bobby, Bob and Paul not only negotiated a much better severance package than was in the contract, but they also went the extra mile and got me on at one of their other companies with an even better contract.They continued to help me even though it wasn't their job to."
