Honeywell threatens to lock out Teamsters if contract deal not reached next week

Honeywell International told local Teamsters union members that the company could begin locking out employees on Feb. 1 if the two sides don't reach a contract agreement.

Management and the union - representing 634 workers at Honeywell's locations in Golden Valley, Minneapolis and Plymouth - are at a stalemate over current contract negotiations.

In a letter sent to all of its local union employees Monday, the plant managers from all three sites said, "You should know that we have notified the union that if we are unable to reach a final agreement before the current contract expires at 11:59 p.m. on January 31, we may lock out all represented employees and utilize our contingent labor to ensure we continue to meet customer commitments."
