SOLIDARITY ALERT: Save these workers’ pensions

Regrettably, these workers are on strike against unfair labor practices as management has unilaterally attempted to cancel their pensions.

It’s the same story we’re seeing across the country – a story that workers are coming together to fight against. Gemtron was purchased by SSW Advanced Technologies and its CEO, Luis Liu, refused to come to the table and recognize the union.

These workers were given a note informing them that their pensions were to be canceled. “I have 28 days left,” explained Mike, one of the striking workers.

Will you write a letter to Gemtron CEO Luis Liu asking him to come to the table and negotiate in good faith? These workers have accepted preferential contracts for years to protect their hard-earned retirement, and Gemtron has not met with them a single time. These are not particularly high-paying jobs.

Send a letter now!

The challenge in rural communities is that corporate bosses believe they can quietly and quietly exploit workers’ hard-won benefits. A car drives past Gemtron’s headquarters about every 10 minutes. That’s why we need your help to protect this hard-working community.
