Members of UE Local 728, a chapter of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America that helps maintain operations at the Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, held a rally outside the facility where they work last Wednesday. The rally was held in hopes of sparking negotiations with LDRM, the company that holds the contracts at KCC, regarding a recent mandate to return to the office. Union reps say their collectively bargained contract includes language that requires negotiations between the two parties for any changes made to workers’ ability to work from home, which reps say the company has failed to do in good faith. Workers at KCC have been working remotely since March 2020.
