Philadelphia 14M wins contract after brief strike Photo courtesy of Philadelphia 14M Philadelphia 14M Secy.-Treas. John Potts (holding a soda) pauses outside the Chapel 2000 and Beyond plant in Moorestown, N.J., with workers. Lengthy, contentious negotiations forced a three-day strike that ended in a settlement that was negotiated by Local 14M Pres. Kurt Freeman by phone while at a GCIU General Board meeting. Freeman praised the efforts of shop steward Joe Aupperle and the workers who were committed to a decent contract. [back to top] Copyright ©1997-2006 GCC/IBT, 1900 L St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036.
