Striking UFCW members at Heaven Hill Distillery voted Saturday to approve a new five-year contract that preserves health care benefits and overtime pay. The distillery workers had been on strike since September , fighting for a fair contract. “With the strong support of the Bardstown community, including many local businesses and community leaders, these hardworking men and women at Heaven Hill courageously stood up to fight for what all Kentucky families want—good jobs, affordable health care and to be treated right by the company they made a success,” said UFCW Local 23D President Matt Aubrey. “Together, these hardworking Kentuckians preserved the affordable healthcare, overtime pay and fair scheduling that enables them to balance work with supporting their families.” Comments are closed.
