GRAND FORKS, N.D. - A majority of American Crystal Sugar Company’s locked-out union workers voted Saturday to reject the same demands management issued nearly one year ago.
A total of 82% of union members voted and 63% voted to reject Crystal’s contract offer.
Some 1,300 members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers union have been locked out of seven Crystal Sugar production plants and other facilities in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa for 10 months. The company, which is a farmer-owned cooperative, has been operating with replacement workers.
