Our Teamster brother, Chris Russell, was targeted and retaliated against by his employer, Caesars Entertainment, for union activity. Horseshoe Indianapolis casino has a well-documented bug problem, and rather than treating it, they scapegoat their own employees. In Chris’ case, they took unprecedented action and suspended him without pay until he has his home treated by a licensed pest control technician.

Chris’ union, Teamsters Local 135, is fighting this obvious retaliation and helping him get back on his feet while out of work, but I’m asking for union sisters and brothers everywhere to pitch in and help Chris’ family afford a licensed pest control so he can get back to work ASAP.
