07 Oct Striking Local 100G Members Deliver Message to Ingredion HQ

After two months on the picket line, Local 100G members on strike at Ingredion in Cedar Rapids, Iowa are fed up with the company’s refusal to negotiate a fair contract.
So the Union members decided to deliver a message up close and personal by traveling 250 miles from Cedar Rapids to Ingredion global headquarters in Westchester, Illinois.

Local 100G members were joined by more than 100 Union members and supporters from numerous area unions for a demonstration outside the Ingredion offices that was organized by the Chicago Federation of Labor.

The crowd cheered as BCTGM International Representative Jason Davis and Local 100G members entered the building to deliver a letter to Ingredion CEO Jim Zallie.

“Each day this drags on, more and more experienced employees are evaluating their position with your company and finding new employment,” states the letter.

In the press conference that followed, Davis told the crowd how negotiations continue to fail to produce a fair agreement for the members. “In our most recent negotiations Tuesday morning, the company is doubling down on their effort. Now they’re looking to outsource our lab department and our maintenance personnel,” Davis says to a jeers and booing.

BCTGM Local 100G President Mike Moore told the crowd their unity was as solid as ever. “We go back as one, not single,” he proclaimed. “We will get a contract!”
