Local 150, AFL-CIO has officially filed an unfair labor practice (ULP) charge against QSL America, Inc.
See 100+ workers have been on strike for 100+ days at QSL America. The company refuses to listen to workers’ safety concerns, and replaced them with out-of-state workers. CFL President Bob Reiter told the Illinois International Port District Board at today’s meeting… 1/2

USG Corp continues to harbor anti-American QSL, while QSL workers have been on strike for 160 days demanding justice and fair treatment. Solidarity with every worker holding the line. The fight for dignity and respect continues. #JusticeForWorkers visit https://t.co/Qqg4kn7hnH

Workers and riders agree: safer, smarter, transit is what people want, and the bill to make that happen is on the table in Springfield. The time is NOW to deliver for Illinois. Pass public transit funding and reform! https://t.co/PPzFneCNV3

Local 150 has filed an election petition to represent QSL America workers at Chicago’s Iroquois Landing and related facilities. We will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder until QSL America workers get safe conditions & a real voice at work. https://t.co/Qqg4kn6Jy9

There has been a change in IL law re: prevailing wage fringe benefits. The IL General Assembly passed HB 2488 effective 6/30/25, requiring the fringe benefits package for an apprentice be the same as a journeyman on prevailing wage projects. To learn more, https://t.co/0NDHuwJdGD

Think pipelines can’t handle extreme weather? With 2.8 million miles of pipelines nationwide, natural gas delivers reliable energy to communities, even when conditions are toughest. #NaturalGas #ExtremeWeather

“As you’ve heard from the QSL America workers over the past 4 months, some have been there 2 yrs, others 5, 10, even 15. That’s a wide range — and for all of them to stand on the line this long takes real resolve,” Tell the IIPD to terminate QSL’s lease. https://t.co/pCmIKJYcOe

Leo is a QSL Worker on strike. Two workers running an entire warehouse — moving tons of cargo w/ no training & no support. That’s not efficiency. That’s unsafe. If a product is damaged, QSL wants pictures. But if a machine is broken — no photos allowed. https://t.co/pCmIKJXEYG

George is a QSL worker on strike. He moves steel coils off ships—tons of metal balanced on heavy machinery. When management told him to stack one too many, he said no. They reassigned him. Safety isn’t optional. It’s a right. https://t.co/pCmIKJYcOe

Proud to stand with @Local150 and the @chicagolabor this morning. QSL America’s unfair labor practices have no place in Illinois. The Illinois International Port District must act now. I’ve got labor’s back—100%.

Terrill McWilliams, a QSL America worker, was FIRED after the company suspected he supported the union. This is retaliation. This is illegal. We’re not backing down. ✊ #StandWithTerrill #UnfairLaborPractice #JusticeForWorkers #WhereIsDarius

Home Depot’s product is handled by QSL America — a company that works against local American workers. Every purchase matters. Support local American jobs. Stand w/local American workers. Share this. #HomeDepot #JusticeForWorkers #whereisdarius
