File this report under life is stranger than fiction. Dirty Joe Rivas caught in the latest scandal to plague John Phillipenas over allegations that Rivas was misusing his union truck apparently went to Court and filed for a Protective Order against Local 631 President Kevin Hardison. Apparently Rivas sprinted over to Court within hours of Hardison delivering a letter to Phillipenas demanding an investigation into Rivas misusing his union truck. Rivas admits in his papers that his wife was driving his union truck in front of the home of Hardison. Apparently Hardison was driving home with his wife only to to find the truck parked in front of his house. No word on why Rivas had his wife drive his union truck to the home of Hardison but Rivas asked for the Protective Order because Hardison took a picture of the truck and followed the truck out of his housing development. Word of the Protective Order spread quickly at Republic Services where Dirty Joe is now being referred to as "BITCH ASS JOE". Did anyone actually believe the day would come when a Teamsters Business Agent sought a protective order against a brother member? Organized labor is being pushed around in Wisconsin and Ohio because people like Rivas and Phillipenas behave like little babies and not Teamsters.
