Strike May Soon Begin For Hunts Point Produce Market Workers
Yesterday workers at a food packaging warehouse in the Bronx unanimously voted in favor of a strike, according to the president of Teamsters Local 202, Danny Kane. In a public statement, Kane told reporters that the workers deserve a 3 percent raise, and they planned to walk out at midnight on Tuesday. The warehouse packages more than half of the produce for the entire tri-state area.
