Statement by Róger Calero, Socialist Workers Party candidate for New York mayor, March 31.
There are a number of important strikes and organizing drives today that deserve widespread support from workers and our unions. Join in bringing solidarity to striking Steelworkers at ATI plants in five states and locked-out Marathon oil refinery workers in St. Paul Park, Minnesota! Help get out the truth about their struggles, send messages of support and organize to go with your co-workers, fellow unionists, family and friends to visit their picket lines.
Invite these fighting workers to speak to your union, church or co-workers.
Safety on the job and for those living near the oil refinery is the heart of the fight by Teamster members at Marathon. “I told him do not back down,” Megan Christner said about her husband, Jason, one of the locked-out workers, when she joined the picket line. “You’ve got to stand up for what you believe.”

Thousands of workers are temporarily out of work for at least this week, and likely longer, at the Chicago Assembly Plant on the far South Side.
The automotive factory on the banks of the Calumet River, which normally runs around the clock, reduced its workforce to just one of three shifts this week because of a parts shortage caused in turn by a global semiconductor shortage.
Kelli Felker, Ford global manufacturing and labor communications manager, could not say how long the layoffs would last or exactly how many workers were affected. There are approximately 5,300 hourly workers at Chicago Assembly Plant in total. Hourly employees with one year of service receive approximately 75% of their gross income during their down time, Felker said.
