The produce shelves at your neighborhood grocer may not be full soon because most of the workers at the Hunts Point Terminal Market in the Bronx are now on strike.
Workers say the dispute with their bosses is over a $1 per hour raise, CBS2’s John Dias reported Sunday.
The direct demand is coming from more than 1,400 of New York’s essential workers.
“Fighting for our rights and for better pay,” said truck driver Wilford Alexander.
Every member of Teamsters Local 202 at the Hunts Point Terminal Produce Market is now on a full strike after the market denied their request for a $1-per-hour raise.
