Union Workers End Red Cross Strike
WEST VIRGINIA....
Union workers staged a five-day strike at the Red Cross blood collection centers in Huntington, Charleston, and Parkersburg before agreeing to return to work at midnight Sunday. Union officials say the union members have been working at the locations for a year without a contract and they are having no luck getting Red Cross to hold bargaining discussions. In their dispute, union workers say, besides working conditions, pay scales, and benefits, there are bigger issues at play. Workers say they will continue pushing and hope someone will look into their claims and force Red Cross to make changes.
