The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace workers voted to go on strike just after midnight Tuesday night.
Employees who work for Allsource Global Management provide supplies for the U.S. Army Special Forces unit. AGM is a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin which has contracts with the Bluegrass Army Depot. Union Spokesman Bob Wood said “Our members are proud of the job they do at Bluegrass Station to support our armed forces. But we have to protect our jobs, and we fully expected AGM to come to the table and negotiate in good faith.” Wood said they decided to strike because the company is proposing substantial pay cuts for its 170 employees.
