新罕布什尔州彭布罗克食品仓库卡车司机罢工进入第二周 养老金争议仍无解

新罕布什尔州彭布罗克市联合食品杂货公司仓库的卡车司机工会罢工已进入第二周,截至14日仍无公开迹象显示罢工即将结束。罢工于11月4日开始,起因是合同谈判在养老金问题上破裂:公司希望取消公司养老金、改以401K储蓄计划取代,工会方面表示反对。卡车司机工会633分会约255名司机、仓库工人与维修工人参与罢工,纠察人员仍守在仓库入口,车辆常停在克莱恩路两侧。公司目前以非工会员工维持仓库运转。彭布罗克警察局长道恩·谢伊表示,罢工至今未发生暴力或破坏事件,警方每天24小时派两名执勤警员在现场。工会成员还在约四英里外的艾伦斯敦苏利超市外向购物者发放传单,呼吁抵制该店。联合食品杂货公司是一家合作社,约有1000家独立会员商店,1946年创立于康科德,今年更名为联合食品杂货东北公司。
Pembroke, New Hampshire Food Warehouse Truck Drivers' Strike Enters Second Week; Pension Dispute Still Unresolved
The union strike by truck drivers at the Associated Grocers warehouse in Pembroke, New Hampshire, has entered its second week, with no public sign as of the 14th that the strike is about to end. The strike began on November 4, after contract negotiations broke down over pensions: the company wants to eliminate the company pension and replace it with a 401(k) savings plan, which the union opposes. About 255 drivers, warehouse workers, and mechanics from Teamsters Local 633 are taking part in the strike, with picketers still stationed at the warehouse entrance and vehicles often parked along Clane Road. The company is currently keeping the warehouse running with non-union employees. Pembroke Police Chief Dawn Shea said there has been no violence or vandalism since the strike began, and police assign two officers on duty at the site 24 hours a day. Union members are also handing out flyers to shoppers outside Sully's supermarket in Allenstown, about four miles away, urging a boycott of the store. Associated Grocers is a cooperative with about 1,000 independent member stores, founded in Concord in 1946 and renamed Associated Grocers of New England this year.
