"We could not be more thrilled to have helped these dedicated
employees secure a strong first contract that rewards them for
their hard work."

procedure, language allowing workers to honor picket lines, time
and a half pay on Saturdays, double time pay on Sundays, two sick
days, pay for jury duty, and severance pay.
