Fighting the high out of pocket cost of health insurance and the stagnant wages at Superior Carriers in Markham, IL, the 13 members of IAM Local 701 working there said, "enough is enough" and voted 100% to strike on April 8, 2014.
According the Mechanics Local 701 Assistant Directing Business Representative Armando Arreola, our members have shouldered increased out of pocket cost for health care insurance premiums while only picking up 11 cents in wage increases over the last 4 years.
"I'm very proud of our members for sticking together for what is right. They deserve much better." said ADBR Arreola.
