This is a local Dayton Ohio potato chip maker. I noticed in other web searches that they have had labor issues. This time only 4 people walked out on strike, others continue to work. Can't find any other info.

Mikesell’s brings replacement workers in during strike
Dayton potato chip producer Mikesell’s is hiring replacement workers to replace about four workers striking the company, the company said Tuesday.
Four of the bargaining unit’s 14 members are on strike while the others remain on the job, the company said.
Four of the bargaining unit’s 14 members are on strike while the others remain on the job, the company said.
“We are on strike because the company refuses to offer a fair, reasonable contract for these guys to come back to work,” said Alan Weeks, business representative for Teamsters Local 957. “It’s been eight years since the last contract expired, and they haven’t had a raise or any improvements on the last contract since 2012.”
Tension between potato chip producer and its union goes back nearly a decade. In March 2018, the NLRB backed a federal judge’s order that Mikesell’s pay nearly $240,000 in backpay to union drivers and warehouse workers.
