Stella D'Oro Workers End 11-Month Strike After NLRB Victory, But Owner Threatens to Close Factory

Stella D'Oro Workers End 11-Month Strike After NLRB Victory, But Owner Threatens to Close Factory

More than 130 workers at the Stella D’Oro Biscuit Company in the Bronx have ended an eleven-month strike. The employees walked off the job last August after company officials tried to force them to accept a 20 percent pay cut, elimination of sick days and overtime, and other cutbacks. The workers returned to their jobs a week after the National Labor Relations Board ordered the company to reinstate and pay back wages to the striking workers. The company’s owner, the Connecticut-based private equity fund Brynwood Partners, is now threatening to close the factory within ninety days. [includes rush transcript]
