Connecticut’s Congressional delegation is urging dietary supplement manufacturer i-Health to reinstate a group of warehouse workers fired amid an ongoing labor dispute. The Enfield-based employees, who unionized with Teamsters Local 671 in March 2024, allege they were terminated in retaliation for participating in a December strike over exhausting schedules and stalled contract negotiations. The company disputes the legality of the strike and maintains that work conditions hadn’t changed. Lawmakers, however, argue the firings may violate federal labor laws, calling the move unethical and retaliatory. A hearing before the National Labor Relations Board is expected in September.
