IAM Union Eastern Territory General Vice President David Sullivan and IAM Local I460 (District 4) members, were recently honored by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore in Annapolis with a Governor’s Citation. Their efforts in a 64-day strike at the IKEA Distribution Center in Perryville, Md., highlight the significance of standing up for fair wages, better working conditions, and seniority protections.
“I accept this award on behalf of all the brave, hardworking members who stood strong on the strike line and fought for fair treatment and a better workplace,” said Sullivan.
By acknowledging their contributions, the Governor’s Citation shines a light on the importance of workers’ rights and the role of unions in advocating for fair treatment in the workplace. It’s a meaningful gesture that honors the commitment to securing a better future for workers.
