CTI Foods Employees Vote YES to Join UFCW Local 1776

nlrb, UFCW Local 1776

CTIOn August 26, CTI Foods employees became the newest members of UFCW Local 1776 as they overwhelmingly voted “Yes” to have a union voice. CTI Foods is a beef processing facility located in King of Prussia, Penn., that currently employs approximately 80 people, including regular and temporary employees.

CTI Foods employees wanted to join UFCW Local 1776 to secure better wages, more affordable benefits, a safer work environment, respect, and a real voice in the workplace. During the campaign, the employees alleged intense pressure from management to vote “No” in the days leading up to the election in the form of threats and illegal scare tactics.  The local even filed unfair labor practices with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regarding the most serious allegations. However, in spite of management’s anti-union scare tactics, the majority of CTI Foods workers stood their ground and overwhelmingly voted to become part of the UFCW Local 1776 family.

    Daniel Neal I suggest you read about the Hostess stutaiion. Hostess came out of bankruptcy in 2009 with a court agreement for lower pay in exchange for an equity stake for the union. Since then, management tripled their own pay and is now asking for more pay cuts for the union. That is why there was no agreement. Why doesn’t management take the same pay cuts as the union did?The real story is that there have been a series of Private Equity firms buying the firm, borrowing money, then asking for the workers to take pay cuts. When one runs out of options, it sells to the next for higher stakes. It was a Private Equity ponzii play that was destined to hit a limit at some point. That limit has now been reached.
