Workers at the Forest Park facility voted overwhelminglyto join the Teamsters last year. In June, the group voted to authorize a strike as a result of the company's failure to offer a fair contract. The workers are demanding an agreement that will deliver fair wages, good benefits, and enforceable protections on the job.
