WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — A strike by Red Cross workers in Wisconsin has been avoided. Earlier this month, the union announced plans to go on strike, which was timed around the annual Holiday Blood Drive in Madison on December 23.
Now, the union is announcing they’ve ratified a new contract and they have called off their planned strike. The new contract includes retroactive bonuses and wage increases for 2021 and ’22 and access to United Steelworkers Health and Welfare Fund insurance benefits.
The ratified contract takes effect immediately and expires on December 31, 2024.
