NEW YORK, May 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters and striking oil workers rallied outside of billionaire John Catsimatidis' Manhattan offices today in protest of the low wages paid to essential workers at Catsimatidis' United Metro Energy. Workers have been on strike since April 19.
"We were essential enough to report to work through the pandemic, but not essential enough for a raise and better health and retirement benefits," said Andre Soleyn, a Terminal Operator at United Metro Energy. "We are on strike for a better future for our families."
