Moncure Plywood Strike Workers

Union workers at the Moncure Plywood plant in Chatham County went on strike after rejecting the company's contract offer.

Workers were picketed outside the plant after going on strike Sunday at 9 p.m., said Melvin Montford, business representative for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

Montford estimated about 90 percent of the 206 workers in the bargaining unit have gone on strike.
