Settlement ends 10-month lockout at Roquette USA

26-07-2011

Members of the BCTGM Local 48G at the Keokuk, Iowa Roquette facility voted on July 23 to agree a settlement in the conflict which saw them locked out of their jobs since September 28 last year. Work is expected to resume next week.

The union has thanked the many thousands of supporters who sent messages to the company in support of the IUF campaign urging the company to resume negotiations.
