Brothers and Sisters,

Please help the workers at Ultra Ex get a first contract. The company has been bargaining in bad faith. In negotiations on this past Monday, they started bargaining backwards. They re-submitted a proposal that they had put on the table in early January. Local 6 is filing unfair labor practices at the NLRB. The company has wriggled in every direction to avoid respecting their employees decision to Unionize. The Ultra Ex President Ernie Holbrook recently said he would sit in a room for the

The workers are pissed off at the dis-respect and bad faith shown at the bargaining table. They have taken a strike vote and will be walking out on an Unfair Labor Practice Strike as the spirit moves them. After almost a year of surface bargaining by the company folks are upset.

You can help by calling Ultra Ex at 1-800-858-7239.

Ask for SAL GRASSIA - CEO or ERNIE HOLBROOK - PRESIDENT of Ultra Ex and tell them to negotiate in good faith, to stop playing games and to honor their past commitments at the bargaining table.

If you are invigorated after making the above phone calls, I ask you to call Ultra Ex’s hired union buster, who ran Ultra Ex’s anti-union campaign prior to the NLRB vote (that he lost, & Local 6 won). He has been the mouth piece at the table during the negotiations and been effectively dragging them no-where. His name is Sanford Rudnick, j. d. , and he can be reached toll free at 1-800-326-3046

Thank you for your support & Solidarity, in advance.

Fraternally,

WAREHOUSE UNION LOCAL 6, I. L. W. U.
