About 80 Teamsters members received some high-profile support Saturday when several members of Michigan’s congressional delegation joined them on the picket line outside the 7 Up warehouse in Redford Township.
Democratic U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Detroit, Haley Stevens of Rochester Hills, Debbie Dingell of Dearborn and Andy Levin of Bloomfield Township joined members of Teamsters Local Union 337 on the 10th day of the union’s strike against 7 Up and its parent company Keurig Dr Pepper. .
Tlaib, Stevens and Dingell joined the strike at noon and stayed for about an hour.
“You all deserve to be able to provide for your family,” Tlaib told the crowd. “You shouldn’t have to beg them to do the right thing.”
