Support Striking Machinists

More than 350 members of the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers, District Lodge 165, Local 623 are on strike in Stearns County against the Polar Tank Trailer manufacturing facility. The workers voted overwhelmingly on December 1 to reject the company’s proposed contract language that would compromise job security. The company would not agree to a contract extension to continue bargaining without disrupting the plant’s production. The workers were left with no choice but to strike.

Union and community members in the area are encouraged to join the 24 hour IAM picket to offer support to the striking workers.

If you live in the St. Cloud area, or are driving through it would be great to stop by the picket line and say hello. Groceries and other supplies can also be dropped off in the trailer at the picket line. Yesterday was two weeks, and the members are really encouraged when other unions show support.

The Polar Tank facility is located at 12810 County Road 17, Holdingford, MN 56340. Contact Colleen Murphy-Cooney for more information: 320-266-6571.
