Daycon apparently hasn’t learned its million-dollar lesson. The local janitorial supply company, which has been ordered by the NLRB to pay out over $1 million in back pay and had to reinstate all the workers it illegally replaced during the 2010 strike by members of Teamsters Local 639, still hasn’t settled a contract with its workers. Some three dozen Daycon workers recently signed a petition demanding that Daycon withdraw proposals to eliminate union checkoff of union dues and union security. “This has gone on long enough,” the petition says. “We know that these are intended to do nothing but frustrate bargaining. We have had enough of the company’s games and bad faith bargaining.” Talks resumed on Wednesday. photo: on the Daycon picket-line in 2010; photo by Chris Garlock
