Genstar workers strike over wage offer at three Frederick quarries
About 125 United Steelworkers members voted to strike Genstar Stone Products after two days of negations failed to reach a new pay deal. Pickets blocked trucks at the Frederick quarry and other plant entrances, with 85 percent turning away as workers urged a higher raise tied to hourly wages. The dispute centers on a proposed two percent raise this year and one percent annually after, totaling about 105 dollars more over three years, viewed as insufficient against inflation.
