Workers at New York City produce market launch first strike since 1986
More than 1,400 workers at the Hunts Point Terminal Produce Market in the Bronx, New York, began a strike on Sunday, January 17, over management’s refusal to raise their hourly wage by one dollar. Management’s counteroffer had been an insulting 32 cent raise. Also, the workers are demanding better health benefits.
The striking workers represent most of the workforce at Hunts Point, a sprawling complex with dozens of private wholesalers. It is the largest wholesale produce market in the world. A huge portion of the fresh food consumed by the 22 million people in the New York City metropolitan area flows through this market.
