Drivers and fillers at Airgas in Ferndale, Mich., represented by Teamsters Local 283, have voted unanimously to authorize a strike due to the company’s repeated failure to offer a fair contract. The more than 30 workers are demanding an agreement that matches the standards won by fellow Airgas Teamsters across the country.



Airgas is a subsidiary of the French multinational Air Liquide and the largest U.S. distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases. The company reported nearly $30 billion in revenue last year, but despite soaring profits, Airgas is refusing to offer Teamsters in Ferndale a contract that meets industry standards.
