Shipyard, union are getting back on same page after strike

Read full article: Shipyard, union are getting back on same page after strike

BATH, Maine – Months after a bitter strike during a pandemic, Bath Iron Works managers and production workers are starting to get on the same page when it comes to catching up on the production schedule. Machinists Union Local S6 and shipyard managers have been meeting with help from a federal mediator since the two-month strike ended in August. Bath Iron Works is one of the Navy’s largest shipbuilders and is a major employer with 6,800 workers in Maine. Bath Iron Works will be competing against the Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi on that contract. The Bath-built Thomas Hudner in 2019 scored the highest in the program history, outperforming a destroyer from the Ingalls shipyard, according the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey.

BATH, Maine – A 63-day strike at Bath Iron Works — against the backdrop of a pandemic in an election year — came to an end Sunday with shipbuilders voting to return to their jobs producing warships for the United States Navy. After falling behind schedule, Bath Iron Works is eager to get caught up on production of destroyers as the U.S. Navy faces growing competition from China and Russia on the high seas. “We are pleased to welcome back our valued manufacturing employees and get back to the important work of building ships on schedule for the U.S. Navy,” Bath Iron Works said Sunday in a statement. The strike was the first in 20 years at Bath Iron Works. The company hopes that mediated discussions between the union and the company will help get the relationship back on track.

Striker's signs are gathered near Bath Iron Works, Wednesday, July 22, 2020, in Bath, Maine. Bath Iron Works, a subsidiary of General Dynamics, builds guided-missile destroyers for the U.S. Navy. Bath Iron Works was already six months behind before the strike, partly because of the pandemic, officials said. Bath Iron Works lost that contract to another shipyard in 2016. The shipyard, a major employer in Maine with 6,800 workers, has been undergoing a transition as aging workers reach retirement.

Bukaty)Navy shipbuilder Bath Iron Works on Friday filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing its largest union of threatening workers who cross the picket line during an ongoing strike in Maine. The company accused leaders of Machinists Local S6 of threatening so-called scabs with fines and loss of benefits and hinting at violence. We are extremely disappointed that union leaders would make false and threatening statements to the very employees they are supposed to represent, said BIW President Dirk Lesko. Wadleigh insisted that production workers who cross the picket line are no longer eligible for union benefits, and may face fines, as well.

Domino's UK stockpiles pizza ingredients due to Brexit fears

Read full article: Domino's UK stockpiles pizza ingredients due to Brexit fears

(CNN) - Pizza chain Domino's has spent 7 million ($8.5 million) to stockpile imported ingredients that might not be available if Britain crashes out of the European Union. The UK arm of the American fast food company said in an earnings statement on Tuesday that a disorderly Brexit "carries the increased risk of disruption to raw material supplies." The company imports about a third of its supplies from outside Britain including tomato sauce, frozen chicken, pineapple and tuna. "We expect the increased inventory level related to Brexit to be maintained into 2020," the company added. The British government has been working on preparedness plans in an attempt to minimize shortages following a disorderly Brexit, and has sought to assuage public fears of disruption.
