The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 2552, based out of Wallops Island, held a vote Monday to go on strike January 1, 2008 over increased health care coverage costs.The soon-to-be striking 76 workers conduct the heating, electrical and wastewater services for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport and the NASA Wallops Flight Facility under a labor contract with Georgia-based employer, VT Griffin Services.
About 300 workers at Wallops are members of IAM2552, but they work under nearly 10 different contracts such as security and Near-Earth Network data services. It is unclear how the service workers strike may impact the balance of the union workers and facilities.

Well well well... This is the same union that went on strike for months at KSC earlier this year.
