OFFICIALS REACT

Several local officials reacted to yet another business closing in the Mahoning Valley.

“The closing of Falcon Transport is sad news for the Valley and Northeast Ohio. As we learn more, we know that workers deserve better than an email letting them know that they’re out of a job. My office stands ready to provide any assistance we can to support these workers and their families,” said U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, of Cleveland.

“This is another example of how our system is rigged. It’s infuriating that this economy continues to gut working-class wallets while management attempts to cut their way to prosperity,” said U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-13th ,of Howland.

“It’s shortsighted, it’s shameful, and it’s wrong,” said Ryan, also a Democratic presidential candidate.

“The private-equity firm that owns Falcon Trucking has left its drivers stranded all over the country, without explaining when or whether they will get their paychecks. These employees put in years of hard work and deserve to be treated like the hardworking Americans they are,” said Ryan.

Ryan also said he will reach out to the U.S. Department of Labor as well as state and local agencies to see what kind of assistance can be offered to the laid-off workers.

How this company is treating its drivers should be a reminder to those that carry the "Corporate Torch" (brown nosers)! Corporation'$ think nothing of you!
 
falcon was already a scab company, literally. mcnicholas was the original name, and the company forced a strike and told the drivers to cross the picket line if they wanted a job with the new company, falcon/compass.

i knew a guy who drove for mcnicholas, he liked it.

with a history like that, hard to be surprised

We have over 2000 units on the ground as of now. They don't park the rail out on the lot by the plant, it sits behind the plant and our terminal is off the the east side of the plant you can't see it from the pike
