This week, members of Teamsters Local 190 in Billings, Montana, officially went on strike against building materials distributor Boise Cascade, demanding fair wage increases and improved health care benefits after months of stalled contract negotiations.



“Boise Cascade has brought this strike upon themselves. We have been extremely patient with the company during negotiations, yet are treated with disrespect and grandstanding in return,” says Zeb Plovanic, a longtime worker at Boise Cascade and member of Local 190. “We deserve respect, job stability, and a future. We will not leave the picket line until those issues are addressed.”
