Chicago PBS Cuts Off Healthcare to Striking Workers - Judge Says Concrete Company Intentionally Drov

Chicago PBS Station Cuts Off Healthcare to Striking Workers

In Chicago, workers at the local PBS Station WTTW have been on strike for nearly two weeks. Now, the local PBS Station is playing hardball and cutting off healthcare to striking workers.

“This company would rather jeopardize the health and well-being of two dozen employees with families than sit down and meet with the union to discuss solutions,” IBEW Local 1220 business manager John Rizzo told Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s a bullying tactic we’ve seen from this company in the past couple of years, but this has been taken to a new low.”

I've had to deal with them professionally several times going back to the early eighties and if they were even capable of being pleasant then they must have been reserving it for someone much more important than me.
