Strikes settling everywhere
It seems that when it rains, it pours - but right now, we have a settlement at Cooper Tool and at Syracuse China. Workers outside of our ALF in Rome also settled their contract.
What does this all mean? It means that workers in manufactoring facilities, who have been so battered by the affects of globalism and neo-liberalism, are willing to fight and stand up to their employer. In each of these struggles, it was the workers who were willing to work with the company, but these companies were not willing to work with the workers.
I am personally proud of each of these locals. They took the best shot from some pretty big companies and they are still standing.
Good work and thanks for all the support!
