Alcom settles with workers alleging union-busting
Winslow-based manufacturer Alcom Inc. has paid five workers $17,000 each to settle a claim that the company had fired them for their efforts to form a union. The company admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement.
The Bangor Daily News reported the five workers agreed not to pursue further legal action against the company and also not to apply for future jobs at Alcom.
The employees first filed their wrongful termination complaint with the National Labor Relations Board in late May. Trapper Clark, Alcom’s CEO, denied the claims in May but said the reason for the workers’ firing was confidential.
The paper reported that three of the workers are now employed by Summit Natural Gas of Maine, working on a pipeline in the Kennebec Valley and two of the former Alcom workers remain unemployed.
