FARGO, N.D. — American Crystal Sugar Co. of Moorhead, Minn., is in the midst of labor negotiations with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union to replace a contract that expires July 31.
The expiring contract was a seven-year contract that featured annual 2 percent pay raises, among other things. The contract before that ran for two years.
Still early
A source knowledgeable about the negotiations says there have been opening proposals from the farmer-owned cooperative and from the union, but it is so early in the process that there is nothing newsworthy and too soon to say what is vital for either side.
