Ben Salango

“I’m proud to stand with the hardworking men and women of AHF who are fighting for the respect they deserve and a contract that will protect their retirement and affordable healthcare benefits.

“It’s not right to steamroll West Virginia workers with a retirement freeze and a 92% increase in healthcare costs over the life of a contract.

“AHF received taxpayer money from the state of West Virginia and therefore have an added responsibility to do right by their dedicated workforce. I hope AHF executives come back to the table immediately to strike a fair deal for the members of Teamsters Local 175.

“It’s wrong to pull the rug out from underneath the dedicated AHF employees who have made the company successful for years.”
