American Crystal Sugar Employees Strike

American Crystal Sugar and its Union employees continue to picket for the third day in a row over a dispute with the company on a new contract offer. As the strike continues, replacement workers are sent in to replace them. Some strikers have no problems with pay or benefits, but are concerned that the new contract includes a provision that would allow the company to replace Union workers with subcontractors. The company is located in Moorehead, Minnesota.

Listen to a report about the strike from Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) here.
