BROOKWOOD, Ala. – More than 1,100 United Mine Workers of America members struck Warrior Met Coal April 1, after contract negotiations with the bosses failed to reach an agreement acceptable to the union.
“I was at the picket line all night last night after the strike started,” Antwon McGee told
Statement by Alyson Kennedy, Socialist Workers Party Texas state campaign chair, April 7.
Solidarity is needed now to strengthen the strike by 1,300 steelworkers at Allegheny Technologies Inc., 200 locked-out oil refinery workers facing off with Marathon Petroleum bosses in Minnesota and over 700 nurses on strike against St. Vincent Hospital in Massachusetts. All working people have a stake in these struggles.
Let these workers know they do not fight alone tell your co-workers, fellow unionists, family and friends about these battles, and send messages of support. Donations to their strike funds, as well as food and other supplies, are needed.
“You pick a fight with one of us you pick a fight with all of us,” was the message delivered by United Auto Workers Local 722 President Steve Frisque to the Marathon workers. Urge your union to do the same spread the word about these fights and organize the members to back them.
