USW local 3141 lockout continues in CB, Ia my granddaughter stood on the line today
Edited on Wed Apr-09-08 02:06 PM by Omaha Steve

I took my granddaughter to the picket line today. She is spending most of her Spring vacation with Marta and I. Bobbi learned a lot. She held a sign. She knows these men and women haven't gotten a check since late January. She watched an empty semi-trailer cross the line to pick up a load. She gets it. For a 13 year old, she learned a lot in a short amount of time.

On Feb. 29th, the NLRB found this to be a legal lockout and dropped the case. There is no end in sight. IF you could spare a few $, please send a check for the lock out fund.

Local 3141
1827 S. 8th St.
Council Bluffs, Iowa 51501

712-325-9526.

Mention you read it in the DU labor forum.
