Hi John,
On June 4, 200 members of BCTGM Local 390G went on strike against International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) in Memphis, Tenn.
Workers have been working under the terms of their expired contract for more than a year while the company refuses to negotiate a fair contract that protects the workers’ health insurance and overtime.
We are proud of our members at IFF for taking a strong stand against this company’s greed and we will support them for as long as it takes to force the company to negotiate a fair contract that rewards them for their hard work and dedication and protects their future.
🔶 You can catch up on the strike here and here where we are sharing the words and the faces of Local 390G members on strike on the BCTGM's blog.
Here are ways you can help BCTGM Local 390G HOLD THE LINE:
