Abstract:
The effect an ongoing strike at the Moncure Plywood plant in Chatham County is having on employees is detailed. Employees decided to strike after their union’s contract ran out with the company and the company decided to increase mandatory work hours to 60 hours per week. The strike has gone on for 6 months and the union workers have been replaced. This has placed a strain on the employees and their families, but they are committed to fighting for better working conditions.
