Unions Pressure Schawk

CHICAGO—With its Union Network International (UNI) Congress taking place here, about 100 labor delegates, union leaders and activists decided to pay an unscheduled visit to Schawk Inc.'s Windy City facility. The delegation popped in to protest what it considers "discriminatory, anti-worker behavior." The alleged infractions stemmed from Schawk's merger with Seven Worldwide, which reportedly caused layoffs and prompted the company to move some operations to a non-union facility.
