The North Florida Central Labor Council picketed alongside employees Friday afternoon outside the distribution center on the city’s west side.
With picket signs in the air, the group chanted:"What do we want? Fair contract. When do we want it? Now."
Twenty-seven Jacksonville United Autoworkers joined thousands across Florida, Pennsylvania and Maryland on the picket line.“We live in America. We have families,” Jackson said. “With the cost of living going up every year, it's impossible for us to keep up and to support our families." "We're looking at trying to do away with the tier program where it takes you six years to get to top pay,” Jackson said. “We're looking at trying to get it back down to three, and those demands were not met by the company."
"We support them, just moral support, but it also lets the company see that it's not just their own workers that are concerned about them,” Harper said. “It's the general public or a lot of the general public.""We feel like the company should be willing to give us fair wages to be able to take care of our families and meet our needs from healthcare, schooling, or whatever it may be in life," Jackson said.
