Threatened workers, the majority of whom are Latino, are striking CMC Rebar of Fresno for unfair labor practices. CMC workers in Fresno voted in their Union more than eight months ago. Despite certification by the NLRB, the Union has not been recognized by CMC Rebar.
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.

There was a press conference on Tuesday, March 27th at 12:00 p.m. at 2914 Argyle Ave. (Between Clinton and Shields, east of Clovis Ave.) in Fresno.
