REMINGTON RALLY

REMINGTON RALLY

Rallys today, to call on former owners to give them the benefits they say they're entitled to, in their contract.

But today....a new and powerful voice among them.

Newschannel 2's joleen ferris reports.

Stand up .

None "a very powerful voice joined the chorus of former remington arms workers, asking the former owners to give the workers what they're entitled to by contract" chant 32:46 "umwa!

Umwa!"

On the seventh day of rallying, the international president of the united mine workers of america joined former remington arms workers, in ilion, to call on the former owners to give the workers benefits they say they're owed, per their contract.

28:25 "old remington shouldn't be allowed to pack up and get out of town.

I submit to you i don't care where they go.

I don't care where they hide.

We'll be dead after their heads?"

They're not relying solely on their powers of persuasion 35:33 "we filed grievances, it's going to arbitration.

We've filed charges with the national labor relations board and we're in court also.

One of those entities could force them to do the right thing" they're hoping the former ownership will do it on their own sooner, which would be less costly for all.

But one thing that has them worried; old remington ceo, ken d'arcy, is also the new remington ceo, under its new ownership 42:29 "the old company is the one that didn't contractually want to hold up their end..but again we have the ceo of the old company that's gonna be the ceo of the new company, so you see where our issues lies, really, i mean it's gonna be a tough fight.

Gonna be a tough fight" coming up new at six,
