Teamsters Local Union 743, which represents about 70 workers at the company, said members voted by a three-to-one margin to accept a contract offer and return to work.

"Because we are Teamsters and willing to fight, we're now the only employees at SK with health insurance. This is something that all Americans should have," stated Emilio Lunar, SK steward and strike leader.

  • What's stopping SK Hand Tools from firing then hiring non-union employees? 

  • Teamsters standing up for the American worker! America needs to fix the problem before everyone has to go to China to get a job!

  • We need a public option.
