Moncure Worker Solidarity Day

Come support workers at the Moncure Plywood Factory, who have been on strike for 8 months. More information at http://www.goiam.org/moncure/

IAM members of Local 369 at Moncure Plywood in Moncure, N.C., have been on strike since July 20 after the company committed numerous Unfair Labor Practices including coercing union members to withdraw from the union or lose their jobs.
Moncure management then unilaterally implemented a contract which included mandatory 60-hour work weeks, the elimination of almost all aspects of seniority, and unfair increases in health premiums. Lastly, with the consent of its corporate owner, Atlas Holdings, our members were permanently replaced.
