American Crystal Sugar employees return to work
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — More than 400 American Crystal Sugar Co. workers who have been locked out of their jobs for nearly two years returned to work Tuesday.
Actually, the return happened much sooner in Mason City: Six year-round employees returned to work on April 30, according to the Jarod Johnson, the plant supervisor at the United Sugars plant. United Sugars is co-owned by American Crystal Sugar Co.
Johnson said he hopes to hire back another 15 or 16 seasonal workers this summer.
About 1,300 sugar workers had been locked out of their jobs in North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa since August 2011 after the union rejected a company contract offer. The new contract was signed about a month ago.
