The Teamsters Local 120 announced Monday, July 27, that more than 100 of its members “overwhelmingly” voted to authorize the strike against Cass-Clay Creamery. A news release cited demands for fair wages, better healthcare, pensions for employees and worker protections. “We want to continue providing for our community, but we need DFA (Dairy Farmers of America) to recognize our value and negotiate a fair contract. "This is a strike authorization, which means workers have the ability to strike at any time should a fair contract not be reached," Melentijevic said. The news release did not give specifics on how much pay is fair or the types of worker protections the union is seeking.
