Schawk, Union Make Peace
DES PLAINES, IL—Schawk Inc. and a Teamsters local union have reached an agreement over the closing of Schawk’s prepress facility in New York City. Local One of the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had made claims of discrimination against the printer following the decision to close the shop in 2005. Operations were consolidated into a larger shop acquired from Seven Worldwide, and only about half of the employees from the closed branch were retained.
