  Workers Seek Out Union Over Health and Pension Issues August 22, 2005 On August 5, tankhaul workers at Air Liquide America Corp. in Feura Bush, New York voted 15-2 to join Local 294 in Albany. The workers haul bulk liquid nitrogen, oxygen and argon for the company. “We’re thrilled to have them in our local,” said Gary Ryan, a Local 294 organizer. “They came to us after the company was bought a few months ago, and the new owners wanted to drastically change their health and pension benefits. They knew the Teamsters would stand up for them.” “We’re looking forward to negotiating a fair contract,” said Gary Lenz, a tankhauler with Air Liquide.
