ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Local 150 of UNITE-HERE is on the move into new offices. When the new union, Workers United, was formed and Local 150's president said her members wanted to stay with the old UNITE-HERE group, the new union moved quickly.

“I got a phone call that I was being terminated. My office, where I was working out, the locks were changed probably 11:15 on Friday, the 17th and they've taken Local 150 furniture that we've had in our union for a hundred years and claimed that it's theirs,” said Ann Marie Taliercio, President of UNITE-HERE Local 150.

At the heart of the new dispute are contract negotiations at Hancock Airport for union members working in restaurants and shops run by concessionaire Delaware North. The company reportedly told workers that future talks would be with the new union. The workers said no.

“They definitely want to stay with Ann Marie and Local 150. We do not want anything to do with the other local,” said Mary Oliver, UNITE-HERE Local 150 member.

Workers United, the new union, has set up shop at Hancock, hoping to coax employees to sign on. The Local 150 members claim their efforts have gone beyond just meetings at the airport.

“They're harassing people on their private properties. They're banging on their doors. They're calling them and showing up at their doors 7, 8 o'clock in the morning. Calling them at 10 o'clock at night,” Oliver said.

None of the Workers United organizers on hand at Hancock would comment.

Neither side in the dispute is showing any signs of being willing to give in, which means all of this may soon be headed to the courts. The local union says it could all be handled very quickly, if Workers United would listen to the local members.

“No one wants them. So we don't know how more to tell them go away. We just want to work,” Taliercio said.

There is no indication that Workers United plans to go away.

The leader of Workers United issued a letter to the American Labor Movement, dismissing claims that Workers United is an attempt by the union, SEIU, to take over the national organization. He says it’s time for all sides in the national dispute to submit their claims to binding arbitration to resolve the split.
