SUMMARY: Workers at Stennis Space Center, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union, are on strike after failed contract negotiations with their employer, Sencom Space Services (S3). Over 200 workers began their strike due to issues related to workman’s compensation, work schedules, and rising insurance costs. Camy Carr, a negotiating committee member, highlighted the minimal movement in negotiations and the significant challenges faced by workers. The union believes S3’s relationship with NASA influences their decisions but asserts that employees have not seen genuine efforts to resolve the disputes. Nearly 90% of the workforce is now striking, aiming for a quick resolution despite the hardships.
