Workers at a subsidiary of Air Products are on strike.

Members of Teamsters Local 773 at Gardner Cryogenics in Bethlehem called the strike when the union and company could not reach a final agreement on the workers’ contract.

The sticking points were reportedly wages and health benefits

Gardner Cryogenics Teamsters manufacture specialized tankers for transporting liquid helium and liquid hydrogen.

The 184 workers joined Local 773 in February of this year, according to a press release.

"Our members have an extremely specialized skill that deserves fair compensation," said Dennis Hower, president of Local 773.

Gardner Cryogenics has not yet returned a call for comment.
