Some local Gemtron workers remain on strike.

Workers hit the picket lines on May 1st over what the members of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades Union says were issues regarding employee pensions.

Tony McGarvey representing the Union sent a letter to local elected officials and the media this week explaining that the strike continues and claiming that the company has been misleading and untruthful about negotiations.

First City News has reached out to company officials but has not yet gotten a response.
