Governor Andy Beshear was among other local politicians and leaders who joined BlueOvak SK workers at IBEW Local 369 off Preston Highway, as they garnered support to unionize.<\/p>\n
Officials with the group aiming to unionize said a supermajority of workers want to join a union. <\/p>\n
After months of pushing, BlueOval SK workers have received the approval from the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election and enter the bargaining stage.<\/p>\n
Workers are asking for improved safety, affordable healthcare, and job security.<\/p>\n
Company officials said the plant is on schedule to start production this year, but have not provided a specific time.
