Employer Cuts Health Cover for Striking Workers

Union Members Outraged by Decision

A major employer has come under fire for cutting health coverage for striking workers. The move has been met with outrage by union members, who say it is a cruel and heartless attempt to break their strike.

Background of the Strike

The strike began two weeks ago after workers rejected a contract offer that included cuts to wages and benefits. The employer, a large manufacturing company, has said that the cuts are necessary to remain competitive in a difficult economy.

However, the union has accused the company of union-busting and says that the cuts are an attempt to weaken the union's bargaining power.

Employer's Decision to Cut Health Coverage

Last week, the employer announced that it would be cutting health coverage for striking workers effective immediately. The company said that the decision was made in order to "protect the financial interests of the company and its non-striking employees."

The union has called the decision "unconscionable" and says that it will only serve to further alienate striking workers.

Union Response to the Decision

The union has vowed to fight the company's decision in court and has filed a grievance with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The union is also urging its members to continue striking until their demands are met.

The strike has already had a significant impact on the company's operations, and it is unclear how long it will continue. However, the union is determined to continue fighting for its members and says that it will not give up until the company agrees to a fair contract.
