    I was a Sears Service Tech and I know you were with Signal Delivery am I correct?

    Sears was farming out the Maintenance Agreement work. A whole department of mostly women was eliminated. The rest was just for

    I remember the strike vote where approximately 15-20%. of the membership took the rest out on strike.
    The Teamsters really didn’t encourage strikes and a rowdy few threw a curveball at Coy and Esser.

    Signal Delivery was a casualty of that vote, right?
    Was Signal 243? I remember Signal was not part of the vote to strike.

    I’ll see if I can dig up a picture…
