The best way to not be involved in this strike is to use another carrier. If a customer continues to use OHFL, they will eventually have ambulatory picket lines outside of their place of business. Those of us who have been OHFL employees for years and years simply want to get back to the table and get a contract. Since the company has said "they have better things to do with their time", they are signalling an unwillingness to negotiate, therefore we have no choice but to take the fight to the streets.
If you are a customer of OHFL, you are far better of switching to another carrier, because the Oak Harbor you once knew no longer exists...
It seems very likely that to "not be involved," these shippers will prefer to ship with non union carriers. I know that Con-Way and R&L are salivating right now. Any business that we have lost in California has been lost to Con-Way. I guess that's what you want.
