Teamsters Local 25 to Rally Against Dunkin' Donuts - This Thursday, July 22nd

WHEN: Thursday, July 22, 2010 8:30 AM

WHERE: Corner of Broad Street and State Street in Boston’s Financial District

Despite our best efforts, negotiators from Teamsters Local 25 were unable to make any progress toward resolving any of the outstanding issues with Dunkin’ Donuts’ largest distributor, Northeast DCP, during the federally mediated bargaining session held on July 16. We have decided that future negotiations would be a waste of time, and our efforts will be to organize both regional and national boycotts of Dunkin’ Donuts stores and to do everything possible, within the law, to encourage Dunkin’ Donuts Northeast DCP to come to the bargaining table with an open mind on issues important to the employees and the union. It now appears likely that the work stoppage, boycott and labor dispute are imminent and will commence in the near future.

Join us to send a message to Dunkin’ Donuts DCP and coffee drinkers everywhere that the company that proclaims, “America Runs on Dunkin’” is running away from their employees trying to decrease current benefits, instead of working to improve employees’ health care, wages and working conditions.
