After a three-day strike involving over 600 employees from Manhattan Beer & Beverage Distributors, unionized workers achieved a new contract that enhances their pension benefits. The strike was fueled by claims of unfair labor practices, primarily centering on the company's attempts to negotiate directly with employees and to exit the pension fund, jeopardizing retirement security. Workers united from four locations, emphasizing their contributions to the company's success and demanding respect and fair wages during contract negotiations. The successful outcome reflects workers' resilience and commitment to their rights and benefits.
"We're the backbone of Manhattan Beer & Beverage. We've helped it succeed. We deserve real retirement security, fair wages, and respect on the job," said Joe Gonzalez, Jr."
"The alleged unfair labor practices (ULPs) centered on the company's push to exit the employees' pension fund, a move that could drastically reduce retirement benefits for current workers."
