Militant/Bernie Senter

Two hundred workers on strike at Delta Dental rallied in front of the company’s offices August 5. Some 1,100 members of Teamsters Local 856 have been on strike against the insurance company since mid-July over company demands that workers pay more for their own dental and medical insurance. One striker, May Woo, told the Militant, "If we let them do it this time we will get nothing in the future." Tania Chelson pointed out that Delta Dental wants new workers to accept reduced pay and benefits. "We’re not fighting just for us, but for them too," she said.
