DuPont ordered to restore wages and jobs to workers in western New York PRNewswire
E. I. DuPont de Nemours Company was found guilty by a federal administrative law judge of 'serious unfair labor practices' in the course of bargaining a new agreement with PACE. After 15 days of hearings, the judge found that under federal labor law, the 53 workers who lost their jobs as a result of DuPont subcontracting the milling and finishing work in July of 2001 must be returned to work and paid for all lost wages and benefits. DuPont was also ordered to re-install the milling and finishing machinery that had been dismantled in 2001.
In addition, DuPont must pay over 400 workers any lost time pay attributed to illegal changes to wages and health care benefits. The judge ordered that the employees' share of the health care costs be rolled back to the 1996 level.
