Join the Picket Line: Ashland Specialty Chemicals Strike
July 17 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Workers at Ashland Specialty Chemicals in Texas City are on an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike!
70 skilled workers represented by the Texas City Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO — IUOE Local 564, IBEW Local 527, UA Local 211, and IAM District Lodge 776 — voted to reject the company’s contract and authorize this strike because the company is:
- Forcing employees to perform work outside their craft
- Proposing slashing paid sick time
- Outsourcing storeroom jobs to outside contractors
Join workers on Friday evenings on the picket line!
