Amalgamated Sugar Company workers consider strike amid ongoing contract negotiations

Workers at Amalgamated Sugar Company are voting this week on a possible strike.

CBS2 has heard from workers, who tell us voting is taking place through Friday.

The two sides have been negotiating since May.

Amalgamated Sugar Company released this statement to CBS2.

“Amalgamated Sugar Company and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) International Union have been negotiating since the end of May for a new collective bargaining agreement. On July 26, 2023, Amalgamated Sugar presented a strong offer to the Union’s leadership team. Amalgamated Sugar then shared that offer with employees. Amalgamated Sugar is committed to working with the Union to achieve a mutually beneficial contract for all of our hourly employees."
