1,100 Workers Go On Strike
A strike in Fayetteville has shut down a manufacturing plant for the world’s largest heating and air-conditioning company.
After weeks of negotiations, contract talks between Goodman Manufacturing and the International Association of Machinists, Lodge 2385 broke down over the weekend.
Workers started to hit the picket line at midnight Saturday.
The strike affects about 1,100 employees at the plant, bringing production to a halt.
Union spokesman Jerry Benson says this is the first strike at the factory since 1978.
Union members feel like the company is shifting an inconsistent amount of the health care costs onto them.
Benson also acknowledged that wages were a sticking point in the negotiations.
Some of the workers at the Lincoln County plant include residents of Coffee County.
Army Soldier’s Remains Returned Home
Glenn Schoenmann is coming home after 60 years. The remains of the Grundy County soldier will finally return to his family for proper burial. Schoenmann went missing in action during the Korean War back in 1950. He disappeared during the infamous Battle of Chosin Reservoir in Korea.
The government presumed he was dead, but it was never able to find his remains, leaving his family wondering what happened to him; but last month, the government came through saying that it had located Schoenmann’s remains.
Schoenmann’s family will meet with the United States government this week in Illinois to find out more details of his death.
