Over 100 members of United Steelworkers union (USW) Local 4045 started their strike against Cambridge Brass on July 19, in an effort to win respect for seniority rights, improved pensions and fair wages.
The company runs on three shifts: days, afternoons and nights. Workers used to be able to choose their shifts, with those with more seniority choosing first. The company put an end to that and has refused to allow workers an annual chance to bid for shifts based on seniority.
Workers are on the picket line 24 hours a day.
