USA: SUPPORT STRIKING WORKERS AT OAK HARBOR

Oak Harbor Freight Lines workers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho went on strike
more than a month ago and the response of the company has been brutal.

They've employed scabs, cut off health care to retirees, and bullied and
intimidated striking workers.

A number of responsible companies have decided not to work with Oak Harbor
until the dispute is resolved.

But not The Gap. They're continuing to use a company which is breaking U.S.
labour laws.

We've been asked by the strikers to launch a global campaign to put pressure on
The Gap and on Oak Harbor. Please take a minute to send off your message:

These guys are picketing right now literally across the street from my building. They've had at least 2 people there at all times for a few weeks now. It's getting cold out, maybe I'll go see if they want some coffee or something when I get a chance. :(

A revolution without coffee is a revolution not worth having.
Get out there, boy!

I went and talked to the strikers today to get a general idea of the strike. They said their union is going to engage in talks with Oak Harbor on friday, so they'll let me know how it goes and if it fails what they'll do next. They also looked to be in dire need of snacks so I brought them some doughnuts (revolution through doughnuts?). :lol:

Props to you man. Taking the time to give some picketers coffee and donuts does more than satisfy some hunger. It's great for folk to receive that kind of solidarity from their community.

Well first off, excellent work my friend. You have done your part in a small revolution! :lol:

I'll send off my support as well.

They're still out there today. :( I'll go find out what's up when I get a chance.
