Union member charged in beating

A Springfield teamsters union member is charged with beating a replacement driver for Associated Wholesale Grocers earlier this month. The prosecutor who has charged Scott Archie with assault and armed criminal action says Archie is a former driver for Associated. Archie is accused of using a baseball bat and a lead pipe to beat Lloyd Yost of Ava. Teamsters are protesting the use of non-union drivers by a company that Associated has hired to handle its transportation work.
