(CHICAGO) – Workers at SCR Medical Transportation, a subsidiary of Beacon Mobile, have elected Teamsters Local 727 to be their sole collective bargaining representative. After months of SCR’s anti-union tactics and unlawful behavior, workers in both the Chicago Pace ADA and Chicago Public Schools/Pace Taxi Livery divisions voted yes for the union.
“Despite SCR’s disgusting union busting behavior, hundreds of workers voted to become Teamsters,” said John Coli, Jr., Secretary-Treasurer of Local 727 in Park Ridge. “I am in awe of our 850 new brothers and sisters for standing strong in the face of a nasty campaign from SCR management to try to dissuade members from joining the union. We look forward to getting to the bargaining table and securing these workers a contract that includes the respect, dignity, and recognition they deserve.”
The workers in both units provide para-transportation services for riders in the Chicagoland area, working as drivers, dispatchers, mechanics, coordinators, and custodians.

Too funny....does the mob still control the pension funds?
No, Deep State and the ChiComs do.
Biden releasing nearly $36B to aid pensions of union workers
“More than 850 medical transportation workers in Chicago join Teamsters”
“Oh you have a heart attack, cool, I can use that as leverage against The Man! Hang tight for a few more weeks of negotiations.”
Clowns. Idiots who are tired of only the government robbing their paychecks. Now the union will be helping themselves to these people’s wages. LOL! Fools. Not very bright.
My daughter had to join the Teamsters when she was an EMT/ Ambulance driver, in Troy, New York.
Mafias always vote for the democrats answer is yes.
“You want me too push dis crash cart down the hall to dat patient’s room right now? Union rules say it’s break time and I ain’t gotta do it. Dey’s just gonna have to wait till after break time. Besides...what all that racket? Why dey keep saying “CODE BLUE, CODE BLUE” over dem speakers? I ain’t gotta put up wid all dis noise! Where my union rep?”
Wow, lots of DEI going on at SCR Medical Transportation Company.
I can just see their driver picking up somebody for their dialysis appointment and the patient being told “Sorry, we just went on strike.”
They should poll the union members with one simple question:
“Do white lives matter?”
In the interest of transparency and full disclosure they should hold a press conference announcing the results.
;-)
Medical transportation workers are not first responders.
Great idea!
But I’d wager they only serve black areas and don’t have to worry about helping white folk.
I’m sure Jimmy Hoffa woulda been proud to be driven to the emergency room in a Teamster-driven ambulance.
Fantastic news! Now when someone needs to get to the dialysis center for a life saving session these union thugs will be on strike and the patient will die.
Holmes & Watson had a wonderful tuna melt sandwich. Troy has the nicest street lights in the nation.
DEI? That picture doesn’t look very diverse to me.
“That picture doesn’t look very diverse to me.”
Precisely my somewhat wry comment.
DEI for thee but not for me seems operative here.
That picture also doesn’t look like the store posters I see all over the place.
Wait for the first “sick out” by the ambulance drivers ... hope you have an Uber app on your phone.
