No Dignity to being a scab
>>>
The striking funeral directors and drivers belong to Local 727 in Chicago. They walked off the job at 16 funeral homes a week ago because SCI refuses to negotiate in good faith.
Here's what happened with the invitation to scab, according to the local's press statement:
Lawrence Mandel was picketing in front of Dignity Memorial Piser Funeral Services in Skokie when he received an email:
We are contacting you for a potential opportunity on a temporary basis due to a strike in progress at some funeral homes owned and operated by SCI Illinois Services, Inc. These temporary assignments could lead to permanent positions based on the outcome of the strike and your performance; a permanent opportunity is not guaranteed...
Thank you, Amber Kennedy
SCI-Service Corporation International
Recruiter
John T. Coli, Local 727's secretary treasurer, said the company's plan to bring in out-of-state funeral directors must not be working.
From what we understand, the few funerals Dignity has performed have left families dissatisfied.
Dignity Memorial has not contacted Teamsters Local 727 to resume talks.
