(SHEPHERDSVILLE, KENTUCKY) - Workers employed at the New Flyer Facility in Shepherdsville, Kentucky have overwhelmingly chosen to join International Union of Electricians-Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA).

Their Union of 283 Workers was certified after an arbitrator confirmed that a majority of the Workers had signed Union Representation Cards.

Member-Organizers from IUE-CWA Locals 84755, 83761, 84901, 81495, 81500 and CWA Local 7304 supported the organizing effort in Kentucky.

"This is a historic campaign for IUE-CWA," IUE-CWA President Carl Kennebrew said. "Workers across this country are organizing and growing their power and IUE-CWA is committed to building momentum in manufacturing organizing across this country."

Michelle Hopwood, a Router Room Machine Operator at the plant, said: "Being on the Organizing Committee to Unionize our facility has been both exciting and educational.  I'm looking forward to the changes we are making not just for today's Employees but for the future ones also."

Our partners at Jobs to Move America (JMA) joined IUE-CWA in this historic Organizing Campaign, which comes on the heels of another successful campaign at the New Flyer Plant in Jamestown, New York last Summer (Go To: Workers At New Flyer Bus Manufacturing Facility In Jamestown ‘Go Union’ With IUE-CWA - WNY Labor Today: Your On-Line Labor Newspaper, Bringing You Labor News From Across The Nation, New York State & Western New York)
