Some unionized employees of Columbia Ford in Longview, WA, walked off their jobs last month.
The 31 members of the Teamsters and Machinists Unions consist of dealership parts and lube department workers and mechanics.
Triggering the walkout was a breakdown in negotiations over sharing increased health-care costs.
