Stark Realities

by | Dec 16, 2010 | Labor Relations Ink

Members of the Grain Millers (BCTGM) ran smack into the reality of the collective bargaining process in September. When the members voted down a contract (bargained for by their union), they returned to work only to discover they had been locked out.

The corn processor in Keokuk, IA, apparently were concerned how the negotiations were going and how the vote would turn out, and began a month or so in advance to train replacement workers. When the lockout occurred, production didn’t skip a beat.
