Union Members Picket Against Local Credit Union

Workers at a local credit union continue to walk the picket lines on Friday. Now, the AFLCIO is joining members of Local 696 against the DayMet Credit Union.

Union officials said their request for talks are being ignored by officials at DayMet Credit Union. They also said the credit union has hired replacement workers.

Thirty women have been walking the picket lines for about five weeks. They said they want health coverage for all their hourly workers and better wages.

They said what has been offered so far is not enough and said eight years is too long to go without a raise. They are hoping DayMet will return to the bargaining table soon.

NewsCenter 7 called DayMet Credit Union and left a message for the president of the bank. That call has not been returned yet.
