Teamsters Union local 57 has been plcketin
Patrick and Twin Cities Distributers for elgh
weeks.
By Cort Femald
01 th# EnwriM
“Get off your ass and go to work,” the driver of
a beat-up sedan yells.
"Go to hell,” a Teamster picketer shouts back.
“They don’t even know what’s going on,” a se
cond picketer mutters, gazing after the sedan.
The Teamsters shoulder their long-handled ON
STRIKE signs and amble across the wide driveway
of Twin Cities distributers on McKinley Street. One
Teamster cocks back the brim of his baseball cap,
squints at the grey clouds hunkering overhead and
mumbles that it looks like another spell of rain.
A similar scene is taking place at Patrick
Distributing Co. on Prairie Road. Teamsters from
local 57 are picketing both sites because these two
beverage distributers are the last in the Eugene
Springfield area refusing to negotiate with the
union.
Budweiser, Blitz-Weinhard and Olympia
distributers have signed a one^year contract with
the Teamsters, says Joel Krause, business agent
for local 57.
Contract talks with Patrick Distributers
brokedown on June 9 when they became “un
productive” and talks with Twin Cities Distributing
fell apart soon after, says Krause
There are “no negotiations" at the moment
with either distributer, according to Krause.
“We’ve hit a complete impasse,” he says.
The stumbling block in the negotiations is the
distributers’ desire to have the Teamsters ratify a
contract that ties their wages and benefits to the
profits of the company. Krause says this will cut
wages and benefits. “The contract is too much for
them,” he says.
“We want them to pay wages equal to the
work," Krause says.
The adjustment of workers’ wages and
benefits according to the rise and fall of a com
pany’s profits has been a recent trend in organized
labor contacts. The economy of the country and job
security have much to do with it. But Krause isn't
sure this is at issue between local 57 and the
holdout distributors.
"The economy has something to do with it,” he
says. “A lot of companies are jumping on that
(wage-benefit adjustment) bandwagon. All we want
is to maintain our standard of living.”
Ask a picketer at the Twin Cities site how long
will the strike go on and with calm determination
he’ll say:^‘As long as it takes."
A pair of non-union drivers ease a Twin Cities
delivery van through the slowly parting picket line.
The picketers and the non-union drivers banter
almost good-naturedly back and forth.
In this strike, local 57 members have often
followed distributers’ trucks on deliveries and
picketed the stores. The tactic has led to
misunderstanding among storeowners and rumors
of violence.
“Nobody’s been arrested," Krause says. “The
picketing has been legal.”
Krause says a couple of upset storeowners
have called the Eugene police, because they
thought they were being picketed
One picketer sheepishly smiles as he tells of a
rumor he was chasing a non union driver In a store
with an axe. “It was a lie,” he says grinning.
A strike isn’t a vacation, the picketers agres. A
picketer will spend 10 to 12 hour days on the site
getting paid a small amount of money from the
union’s strike fund.
"It’s not enough to live on,” Krause says.
There’s no unemployment compensation for drivers
off-the-job because of a strike and a labor dispute
? Isn’t grounds to collect unemployment benefits.
' A motorcycle roars by shaking his fist at the
picketers. It’s not an insult — it means solidarity.

I Police beat
Campus-area crimes recently
reported to the Eugene Police Depart
ment include:
A woman was “sexually abused” on
University Street between 18th and 19th
Avenue Monday at 2:10 p.m., Detective
Dave Poppe said. The woman was walk
ing southbound when the suspect ap
proached her from the opposite direc
tion, grabbed her wrist, said "That’s
nice," and ran away.
The victim described the suspect as
a white male, about six feet tall and 30
years-old, with red, collar-length wavy
hair and a beard. He was wearing jeans
and an Oregon Country Fair T-shirt.
A microwave oven worth $400 was
stolen from a fourth floor kitchenette in
Carson Hall between June 11 and June
13, but was not reported until July 12.
The theft of the oven, which was bolted
to the counter, was not reported sooner
because Carson Hall officials weren’t
sure if the oven had been taken to a
repair shop or stolen, Officer Darren
Dragt said.
A leather wallet containing $1 and
some identification was taken July 12
from a Lawrence Hall office where its
owner had left it unwatched for “several
minutes," Dragt said.
A 35mm Canon camera, a 22mm wide
angle lense and a white full-faced
motorcycle helmet worth a combined
value of $395 was stolen from a pro
fessor’s unlocked office in Condon Hall
between May 14 and May 23, but was
not reported until July 11.
Four bicycles were stolen from the
campus area within the past week,
Dragt said. In three of the cases, the
bicycles’ cables were cut.
Although police arrested several
Oregon Jam fans for “prohibited camp
ing” in Alton Baker Park Saturday, the
“Jam’’ went "real smooth,” Dragt said.
Information obtained from a police
report regarding the June 27 burglary of
the Chi Psi fraternity, reported in the Ju
ly 7 Police Beat, stated there were no
members living in the house this sum
mer. Actually, there are 12 residing in
the “Lodge" at 1018 Hilyard St.
A fraternity member, who was sleep
ing above the living room, was awaken
ed by a transient who had shattered
glass in attempting to enter the fraterni
ty at 12:15 a.m., said Bill Wrightsman, a
fraternity member. Fraternity members
yelled at the transient, who then ran
away, Wrightsman said.
Police said they discovered the
broken glass while making routine
checks of the neighborhood, but
Wrightsman said fraternity members
called police after the incident occured.
