Georgia-Pacific gypsum plant union workers are striking due to frustrations over wage negotiations and the lack of local representation in management's negotiating team.
Business agent Anthony Rives stated, 'These guys are not willing to cross the line right now, no way. We have a 100 percent participation.'
Rick Kimble, Georgia-Pacific's Public Affairs Director, emphasized their commitment to operations, stating, 'We respect employees' right to strike, any Antioch employees wishing to work will be allowed to do so.'
Kimble also highlighted that negotiations have been in good faith and the company understands local living costs, aiming to provide competitive pay to attract employees.
