Dear readers, today is a new day in Factory row.
In the early morning hours, Robert Irons along with the six factory owners emerged and announced together that they had reached an agreement.
One owner, Donavan von Everitt, with Roberts Irons, spoke to us about the details of this historic agreement.
“With Mr. Irons input that he gathered from our workers, we have agreed to a collective union. These six facilities will all operate under the same standards. A pay increase to match the cost of living, reasonable work hours, improved maintenance and cleanliness of the factories themselves, and an in depth assessment of our current management staff. Irons will have the workers of each facility elect a representative to report back to the collective representatives. They will inform us, the owners, of the goings on within our factories, including assessing the work of our foremen.”
Irons added, “This would not have been possible without the people you see here on the streets celebrating. They never gave up on me. I’ll never give up on them. They made me strong. They keep me honest. This is for them.”
