Dr Pepper employees set to return to work
Dr Pepper Snapple Group has confirmed that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) determined the company had bargained in good faith and had reached a lawful bargaining impasse with the union representing more than 300 employees at DPSG’s Mott’s plant in Williamson, NY.
The NLRB dismissed unfair labour practice charges that were filed by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) shortly after union employees in Williamson went on strike 23 May.
The board’s notification coincides with a vote by union employees ratifying a three-year labour contract, ending the strike.
“We maintained all along that we bargained in good faith with the RWDSU,” said Larry D Young, president and CEO of DPSG. “From the beginning of our negotiations, we sought an agreement that supported our business, and we’re very pleased with this resolution.”
The agreement comes after union members on Monday ratified the same terms they had rejected overwhelmingly in a 2 September vote. Union employees will return to work 20 September.
