Wayne, N.J. – November 10, 2026 -- Forty-five technologists and technologist aides at ImageCare in Sussex County, N.J., have gone on strike after nearly two years without a first union contract, Teamsters Local 125 said.
Workers Cite Wages and Health Care Costs as Core Demands
The workers voted to join the Teamsters almost two years ago. They are seeking better wages and affordable health care in a first agreement.
Local 125 President Paxton Ryan accused the company of bad-faith bargaining and of refusing to offer a contract that recognizes members' worth. He said the union will stand firm until ImageCare addresses workers' concerns.
Strike Affects X-Ray and MRI Services Across Sussex County
The striking workers provide X-rays and MRIs to patients throughout Sussex County. The union says it wants a contract that provides the resources and support needed to deliver quality patient care. The source does not say how the walkout is affecting appointments or service capacity.
ImageCare worker and Local 125 member Alyssa Perry called the strike a last resort. She said the company's conduct at the bargaining table made it necessary.
Local 125 represents more than 4,200 workers across New Jersey. The source includes no response from ImageCare and gives no date for resumed negotiations.
