Volvo Trucks to restart Virginia factory as strike continues

Associated Press  

NORFOLK, Va. — Volvo Trucks North America says some striking workers crossed picket lines Monday at a southwestern Virginia factory as the company plans to restart production. UAW spokesman Brian Rothenberg said about 10 workers crossed the lines Monday morning, in addition to a “handful” of union workers who had gone to work earlier. Blondino said that a majority “yes” vote Wednesday would send workers back to the plant for production on July 19. If Volvo sets a date for workers to return after Wednesday’s vote, then the union can file an unfair labor practices charge with the National Labor Relations Board, he said.
