Teamsters and Strikes The history of the Teamsters shows that they go on strike . . . often. And when they call a strike over wages, benefits or working conditions, what happens to you? You don’t get a paycheck. You don’t get your benefits unless you pay for them out of your pocket. In most states, you don’t get any unemployment benefits. You risk being permanently replaced (the law says a company can do that). It could take years for you to recover your lost pay from a strike.
We can insert a strike calculator if you would like on this page.
