Just as 120,000 of us rail workers were set to strike nationwide last December, now 150,000 auto workers are engaged in strike activity, with more and more members on strike each week since September 15th. The issues are very similar in both cases: long hours, wages not keeping pace with inflation, an industry making record profits while investing in once-illegal stock buybacks, and a refusal to share the wealth with those who created it - the workers. Railroad Workers United urges our members, all rail workers, and rail union officials to lend these brothers and sisters our full support in every way possible. Remember, we will be needing their support in the future, when national rail contract negotiations begin next year! Solidarity Forever! |
