Striking Teamster: ‘They Don’t Even Recognize Us As Human Beings’

Oct. 7, 2025 | STRIKES | Firefighters are some of the most courageous people on Earth. They brave smoke and flames to save lives. They risk their health and safety to protect others. And they do it using equipment made right here in Dublin by my fellow Sutphen Corp. workers represented by Teamsters Local 284. For a long time, Local 284 enjoyed a productive relationship with Sutphen. But unfortunately, we were forced to launch a strike several months ago because of the company’s refusal to respect the 90 Teamsters who make their profits possible. Sutphen Teamsters manufacture specialized equipment that is used on firetrucks — and we’ve done it for over 40 years. Generations of firefighters across the country have relied on our work to keep their communities safe. The Columbus Dispatch
