By BETH MUSGRAVE
A labor union representing 68 Kentucky American Water employees will go on strike beginning Friday evening, union officials said late Thursday.
The National Conference of Firearm and Oilers, sometimes called NCFO, said the strike will begin shortly before midnight Friday.
“Our members, the workers that provide safe drinking water to the Lexington, Fayette County area, are asking the company to bargain in good faith,” Robert Smith, NCFO secretary-treasurer, “To address the workforce’s concerns and meet the needs of the workers that have faithfully provided non-stop service through the pandemic and some of the most trying times in the past years.”
