ELKHART – A three-year strike at a musical instrument plant in northern Indiana has ended with the union being decertified.
About 130 union members were pulled off the picket line Monday in Elkhart at Conn-Selmer’s Vincent Bach plant, which specialized in manufacturing student-level trumpets and trombones. Members will no longer receive $200 weekly assistance checks or insurance paid by the union.
The National Labor Relations Board handed down a decision last week officially decertifying United Auto Workers Local 364.
About 230 workers at the Elkhart plant went on strike after rejecting a contract in April 2006.
Since then, several members have crossed the picket line and gone back to work, but others remained on strike.
