KapStone declares impasse; will implement contract unilaterally, union says
Source: TDN
By Marissa Luck
KapStone officials Monday declared a bargaining impasse and told pulp and paper union officials they will implement most of the company’s latest contract offer by Friday, according to the union.
A union leader called the move “a huge mistake” as word of the company’s move spread among union members who were staging rallies around the community Monday.
KapStone declined to comment on the negotiations or reveal which parts of the latest contract it intends to put into force.
KapStone officials made the announcement during scheduled bargaining talks Monday with Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers Local 153. The two sides have been negotiating, sometimes with assistance from a federal mediator, since spring 2014. The previous contract expired that May.

when you have a RIGHT WING U.S. SUPREME COURT siding with the oligarchies and attacking the:
"Wagner Act
The Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (29 U.S.C.A. § 151 et seq.), is the most important piece of labor legislation enacted in U.S. history. It made the federal government the arbiter of employer-employee relations through the creation of the national labor relations board (NLRB) and recognized for the first time the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively with their employers. The act overturned decades of court decisions that asserted that labor unions violated an employee's liberty of contract."
And now with the next session of corruption coming up, this so called judge Alito has been assigned by the other so called judge Roberts to be the lead hypocrite on the decision when it comes up on the Teachers Union dues in California, to rule if a bunch of scabs say, they, should not pay union dues-------------my answer leave--------
Get the free loader off my back and go and work at some to right to work for less firm----------you don't support the 50+1 majority----------------- leave
Honk------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016
