We stand with our members in their fight for justice and fairness,” said Sam Cook, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 377.Įmployees at Plant 2 voted to form a union in 2021 after the company eliminated workers’ pensions, increased the cost of family healthcare by more than $100 per week, and began utilizing under-trained subcontractors to perform work at the facility. “Rather than bargain in good faith, this notoriously anti-union company has decided to use stall tactics to avoid negotiating a first contract. Teamsters Local 377 said in a statement that the workers at Ineos have been pushed to the brink by the company’s unlawful practices. Since September 2021, Plant 2 workers have been represented by Teamsters Local 377 and Local 1033C of the International Chemical Workers Union Council. A subsidiary of the multinational Ineos chemical group headed by UK billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos Pigment produces titanium dioxide, which is widely used in plastics. About 50 union workers carried signs reading, “Stop the War on Workers,” “Teamsters Local 377 Strike,” and “International Chemical Workers 1033C Strike,” according to the Star Beacon. Workers at the Ineos pigment production facility in Ashtabula, OH, picketed the plant on March 12 to protest what they are calling unfair labor practices.
