Union votes strike against Rolls-Royce | mountvernonnews.com

"Before the vote, the negotiating committee and union members discussed specifics on wage increases, health care costs and other issues relating to the contract. Several union members voiced grievances about these issues and encouraged fellow members to unite, vote down the contract and strike. Many said the company was doing well, but was rewarding management and not its workers.

By a vote of 336 to 58, the contract was rejected. Later, by a vote of 356 to 36, the employees voted to strike. Both results were announced to loud cheers and clapping."
