This is what we union thugs do after a tornado

We set up a donation center in our union hall to help our community recover.

It may take years for towns to rebuild after the horrific tornadoes that killed at least 37 people in the Lower Midwest and South. Teamster THUGS (Those Helpful Union Guys) at Local 89 began to help out immediately. From the Teamsters KY IN Facebook page:
We are setting up a donation center to help in the relief and rebuilding effort for those affected by the tragic events that occurred in yesterdays’ storms. Families in the devastated areas are in need CLOTHING, BLANKETS, WATER and NON-PERISHABLE ITEMS SUCH AS CLEANING SUPPLIES. YOU CAN ALSO MAKE A DONATION PAYABLE TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. Please drop off your donations at Local 89 at 3813 Ta...ylor BLVD (right next to the Watterson Expressway) between 8-5pm Monday-Friday.
Our brothers and sisters in Indiana asked for prayers:
Please pray for these folks this storm was so bad it leveled 2 small Indiana towns not to mention caused damage throughout the midwest and south as far as Alabama!! Please pray for these people as if things havent been tough enough already here with the economy and gas prices going up.
You can donate to the Teamster Disaster Relief Fund here.
As Teamsters, we should always do our part to help our communities and fellow people get back on their feet when tragic events occur. Please do what you can to help. For those of you who cannot, please keep those suffering from this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers.
We're quite certain Teamsters throughout the country are helping out. Stay tuned.
