FORT LEEâHaircuts at Fort Lee are on hold after the baseâs barbers decided to go on strike earlier this week. Their allegations include claims that they are being underpaid by the contractor in charge of the baseâs three barbershops, plus one at Fort Pickett.
Around 20 barbers at the base are organized under a union. Those barbers initiated an Unfair Labor Practices strike earlier this week.
Mike Kates, 38, has been a barber at Fort Lee for the past 15 years. He said the pay structure put in place by Sheffield Barbers is costing him somewhere close to $1000 a month.
