Update for all Chandler Industries, SMART Local 10 bargaining unit members
As I’m sure you are all aware by now, Chandler Industries, Inc. has been sold by Arch Equity
Partners to BTX Precision. What does this mean for you as a bargaining unit member?
Per the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), successor employers do not have to assume the
existing Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) in most cases. BTX Precision has expressed their
desire not to.
However, any successor employers, again per the NLRA, are required to recognize the bargaining
unit and meet with the Union to bargain in good faith towards a new agreement.
We’ve been in communication with BTX Precision, and they have recognized the Chandler
Industries bargaining unit and agreed to meet with Local 10 to bargain in good faith towards a new
agreement. Negotiations on that new agreement begin today
Local 10 will provide any future updates on this page.
