McKay's Knoxville store employees are unionizing to secure better working conditions and a stronger voice in company decisions. The recent 50th-anniversary road trip promotion, which overwhelmed staff and sent some fans to the hospital due to heat, highlighted issues like poor communication and employee strain. The union is facing challenges in contract negotiations with management, including labor charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board. “Some people think we were protesting, but it was an informational picket about us and our difficulties in bargaining with them because they are basically going as slow as possible," said Aaron Hege, a union leader who has worked at McKay's for 27 years. Knox News has the story.
