After failing to reach an agreement Monday, dozens of Beaver County workers, including many at the courthouse, went on strike this morning. Many courthouse workers, clerical workers and other union members of the Beaver County Commissioners Residual Unit went on strike at 7:30 a.m. The strikers said they are fighting for better wages and healthcare benefits. SEIU business agent Al Smith told Mike Romigh on Teleforum this morning that the public has been very supportive of their cause. Smith also claims that Beaver County Commissioner Dan Camp nearly hit some of their members with a vehicle about an hour into the strike, but no one was injured. Camp also appeared on Teleforum, denying the allegations. Camp also said today on Teleforum  that their final offer to the union is fair and includes an 8.5 percent pay increase over three years. The union said they are prepared to fight for the long-term.
