IRON WORKERS STRIKE AGAINST UNFAIR LABOR PARACTICES
Workers at CMC REBAR FRESNO, INC. began a strike against the company charging Unfair Labor Practices (ULP). The workers, the majority of which are Latino, are demanding the dignity and respect for their rights as workers.
On various occasions, workers have been threatened by supervisors who have told them that if they formed a Union or began a strike they would be fired.
The workers, many of whom have worked for the company for more than 10 years, voted to join a Union on the 14th of July, 2006 and since then the company has refused to recognize their rights.
In spite of certification by the National Labor Relations Board of the workers' affiliation with the Ironworkers Union Local 509, the company is continuing to obstruct the workers' rights, refusing to recognize the Union and threatening to fire workers.
