Cameron Taylor, a business agent at Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers Local 364 in Portland, said Saturday that about 75% of members approved of the agreement, which got rid of the new healthcare proposal and maintained the regular overtime schedule for most employees.
“What my members wanted was to hold on to their benefits,” Taylor said, noting they mostly got what they wanted.
“What the company did get was a weekend crew,” he said, which he called “a sticking point” with his members.
