Union Takes to Street in Secaucus Printer Dispute

An ongoing and bitter contract dispute between the Teamsters and the owner of a Secaucus (NJ) printing company [AFL Web Printing ] ended up in the streets of New York Tuesday, when about 25 union members demonstrated outside the office of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Teamsters Local 1-L, a New York-based branch of the Amalgamated Lithographers of America union, has for three years sought to organize the workers of AFL Web Printing.

The union said it targeted the SBA because the agency had awarded “at least $100 million in funding” to the Westbury Partners private equity firm (which owns AFL).
