They are on strike, claiming the company is letting them go in a mass layoff.
They say the company is telling them they can reapply for their jobs at a different warehouse in Rancho Cucamonga and their pay would be $10 to $12 less per hour. The workers feel this amounts to unfair labor practices. They say they unionized here just last year and the two locations that are being closed are the only two that have a union.
In a statement, the company said, "The Teamsters' claims are simply not true. We are currently integrating five outdated and capacity-strained facilities that are spread across 2,000 square miles. Our new facility will employ nearly 1000 people, creating hundreds more American jobs than exist today."
