- "These immigrant workers went on strike because they wanted equal pay with others in their industry and John Catsimatidis fired them in retaliation," said Demos Demopoulos, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 553.
- "Catsimatidis should do what is right rehire these workers and agree to a fair union contract so they can provide for their families."
- Local elected officials have supported the striking workers and demanded that Catsimatidis agree to a fair contract.
- I stand with these brave Teamsters and call on Catsimatidis to finally do the right thing: negotiate a fair contract.
