Union-busting company Box Partners dragged out contract negotiations despite workers overwhelmingly voting to join LIUNA in 2024. Now a decertification vote will be held on March 26th.

When workers again vote to support their union, they will prove that they are standing strong together to fight for livable wages, affordable healthcare, and respect for all workers! We stand with the Box Partner workers! Laborers Local 681

Local 681 remains committed to negotiating our first contract with Box Partners. Box Partners have stretched negotiations for more than a year now, and workers deserve dignity, respect, and a pathway to improved living standards. Fair contract now! We stand united with our members in support. We will continue to fight for your future! United we bargain, divided we beg! Stay strong, brothers!
Thank you to the organizers of GROC for the assistance
