District Lodge #34 News  Local Lodge 1356 On Strike at SK Hand tools4/15/2009 IAM members employed at SK Hand Tool Corp., in Defiance, OH set up picket lines after unanimously rejecting a contract offer from the company that would eviscerate their collective bargaining agreement. Members of Local 1356 in Definace, OH, voted unanimously to reject the offer and to authorize a strike against the company.Since voting down the initial offer, the members have rejected three subsequent offers by the company, all of which would gut seniority rights, reduce vacation and holidays while eliminating dental, life, and disability insurance. The company’s offers also included extreme increases to employee health care costs. “The company put the members’ backs against a wall,” said District 34 BR Joseph Chaszar. “Their solidarity and determination to win a fair contract is nothing short of amazing.”
