Overnite, Union Cite Strike Violence
The Teamsters and Overnite Transportation exchanged blows through press releases that detailed violations of court orders in Minnesota.
Three Teamsters Local 120 members were found in contempt of court in connection with an alleged assault of one Overnite driver and harassment of another, according to a May 15 press release from the less-than-truckload carrier.
After pleading no-contest to the charges, Bradley Slawson Jr., Edward Barnum and Lewis Miller were ordered to keep away from Overnite property and those of its customers. The defendants also were ordered to pay $500 each to compensate the carrier for attorneys’ fees and court costs.
