On March 22, unionized workers at Urban Ore began an open-ended strike, protesting unfair labor practices after their unionization with the Industrial Workers of the World. Workers claim the company has delayed negotiations and appointed a negotiator lacking authority to agree. Approximately 100 workers rallied, emphasizing their essential role in operations and expressing frustration over unsafe working conditions and inadequate pay. The strike follows almost two years of stalled bargaining and reflects deep dissatisfaction with management's approach to labor issues and negotiations.
What's disgusting? Union-Busting! they chanted, taking turns with a megaphone while speaking from the bed of a parked truck.
They do not respect the value of our labor; they've even told us to look for other jobs if we want to better our pay and working conditions.
