BREAKING NEWS: Union votes to strike at Vance

International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local Lodge 898 members voted overwhelmingly Friday to strike at Vance Air Force Base.

Union members cast two ballots Friday, one to reject a contract with the base’s prime contractor, CSC Applied Technologies LLC, and sub-contractors DenMar Services, M1 Support Services and PRI/DJI, and the other vote to go on strike starting Monday.

The vote to reject the contract was 666-28, while the vote to strike was 655-41.

The union’s three-year contract with CSC and the others expires at midnight Sunday.
