Machinists Strike Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri

About 1,350 IAM Local 778 members in Independence, Missouri walk out over wages, mandatory overtime, and work-life balance at military supplier

Approximately 1,350 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 778 are on strike at Olin Winchester’s Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri, after rejecting a contract offer as their agreement expired at 12:01 a.m. CT on April 4. The union cites wages, mandatory overtime, and work-life balance as key issues. Employees at the plant manufacture small arms ammunition for the U.S. military and allies, according to union statements. Union leaders said the company’s offer was not good enough and noted members have endured extensive overtime and lagging wage gains.

In California, Los Angeles Unified School District unions have set April 14 as a possible strike date, and the Associated Administrators of Los Angeles/Teamsters Local 2010 said members overwhelmingly authorized joining the planned walkout alongside United Teachers Los Angeles and SEIU Local 99. The coordinated action could involve tens of thousands of employees and affect more than 500,000 students; district officials say negotiations continue and operations would depend on who walks out. Separately, workers at a JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley extended their strike into a fourth week, a dispute involving roughly 3,800 employees.

Key Insight

These U.S. actions span education, ammunition manufacturing, and meatpacking, sectors linked to school operations and military and food supply chains.
