Since the end of their union contract in late 2020, workers at Bellingham Cold Storage have been fighting for better wages and against an unreasonable hike in healthcare costs. In this episode, Rich and Heather Ewing from Teamsters 231 give an update on this situation. As of the time of publication, an agreement has still not been reached between the union and management.
