BATH, Maine (AP) – The international president of the Machinists union is encouraging striking workers at Navy shipbuilder Bath Iron Works to stay strong.
Robert Martinez Jr. on Saturday delivered a message of unity to 4,300 members of Machinists Local S6 during a strike that passed the one-month mark this week.
The production workers went on strike June 22 after overwhelmingly rejecting the company’s final contract proposal. The dispute centers on subcontractors, work rules and seniority.
