Bunnies 2
Bosses at the Minneapolis Star Tribune also faced the power of workers with bunnies tees from Teamster
drivers on the loading dock when shop steward Rick Sather began to distribute them to drivers. Workers began
to wear them some days and other days wear plain red t-shirts under their jackets. Supervisors got sore
necks trying to figure out if the shirts had bunnies or not. When they tried to discipline one worker for wearing the shirt, others
decided that that was unfair and started sporting them as well. Sather was told that the wording was
threatening, but the supervisor was not satisfied when he covered the letters with masking tape. In the end,
management agreed to drop disciplinary charges against one worker (in a caseunrelated to the bunniesthat
could have led to his dismissal) if only the workers would stop wearing those pesky wabbits!
