Doug Leikness, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 538, which represents Oscar Mayer workers, says workers want Kraft Heinz to honor its contracts and exit agreements. “They are delaying on purpose. The company is trying not to deal with grievances and other matters, hoping it just fades away. They figure since people are leaving, the union won’t go to arbitration or fight this,” says Leikness. “Oscar Mayer may be leaving Madison but we still expect the company to bargain in good faith with us.” -Exit issues: Workers protesting Kraft Heinz just weeks before Oscar Mayer closure (2017)
