Strike enters 7th month

IAMAW Local 701

EAST DUNDEE, Ill. — Subzero temperatures in January did not stop striking IAMAW Local 701 union members from walking the picket line. Nine mechanics at Al Piemonte Chevrolet dealership walked off the job July 9, 2014. They are fighting for their health insurance and pension. Members voted in early May 2014 in favor of joining the union, but store owners balked, offering half the insurance co-pay coverage and pension that their other stores have in their contract.
