It is “Time for U.S. Steel to do the right thing!”
for 300 workers still on layoff;
for the workers in the mill with understaffed jobs, long hours, no training and dirty lunch and locker facilities;
as well as for the downriver Detroit communities suffering from high unemployment.
That’s the message that echoed Feb. 10 through the standing-room-only rally at Local 1299’s union hall as the United Steelworkers opened up a “movement of informational actions.”
After the rally, hundreds of workers and allies streamed into the street to march about a mile down Jefferson Avenue to the plant gate.
The Steelworkers will take their fight to U.S. Steel headquarters in Pittsburgh on March 1. Go to usw1299.org (http://usw1299.org/) for more details.
