Our members who work at Gemtron, a glass manufacturer in Indiana, are on an unfair labor practice strike because the company refuses to bargain in good faith and wants to eliminate hard-earned pensions for their workers.

Join us in fighting back! No pension cut backs!

Mike and Linda are married. Linda worked at Gemtron and retired with a secure pension, while Mike is 3 weeks away from retirement.

We are on an unfair labor practice strike at Gemtron because they're bargaining in bad faith to eliminate pensions like Mike's going forward.

Happy May Day!

Today, we celebrate the international workers movement. IUPAT has been organizing across borders for nearly 140 years because we've always known that solidarity and organization cannot be defeated if we stand together as one.
