Tool workers strike over health coverage
Crain’s Chicago Business
Roughly 70 workers belonging to the Teamsters Local 743 went on strike over what they regard as an unfair labor practice.
Richard Berg, president of the local union, said that SK Hand Tool failed to notify employees that it would stop offering health insurance coverage in May. Workers realized the benefit had been withdrawn when they received their paychecks and saw there was no deduction for health care, Mr. Berg said.
