Mercury Marine employees petition for new vote
From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
More than 200 union members at Mercury Marine Inc. have signed petitions calling for a second vote on a labor contract that was rejected Sunday by what union leaders said was a wide margin.
Unless the union members take a second vote and approve the proposed concessions, Mercury Marine says it will move up to 850 manufacturing jobs to its nonunion plant in Stillwater, Okla. Also at risk is the company’s headquarters, which employs about 1,000 people.
“We are fighting right to the end,” said Fred Toth Jr., a 15-year Mercury employee and one of three union members who started the petition drive. “We already have about one-fourth of this union saying they want a revote.”
