Strike Ends, Union Declares Victory in Moncure!
Machinists of Local W369 to return to work
Striking members of Local W369 in Moncure, North Carolina, will return to work at Moncure Plywood with their contract and their dignity intact after ratifying a new three-year contract that preserves seniority rights and sharply restricts the amount of forced overtime employees can be required to work.
"The new contract is a dramatic improvement over the original terms proposed by the company and rejected by the members," said Local W369 President Lewis Cameron. "Seniority is respected, scheduling issues will be resolved more equitably and most importantly, the workers' contract is preserved." The Local W369 Bargaining Committee unanimously recommended a 'yes' vote on the new contract.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MEMBERS OF IAM W369!
