Statement by Malcolm Jarrett, Socialist Workers Party candidate for Pittsburgh mayor, May 19.
“Our strength does come from our sticking together,” Dave McCall, international vice president of the United Steelworkers, told a May 15 rally of striking steelworkers and their supporters in Louisville, Ohio. The support steelworkers are winning gives a glimpse of the potential for strengthening their strike against the union-busting bosses at ATI.
Solidarity can make a difference in their fight, as well as the strike of miners at Warrior Met in Alabama and other union battles. Workers in the mines, mills, factories, transportation and retail industries all face bosses trying to boost their profits off our backs.
