Of course, being that the US is the land of the Free, the strikers have no say in the matter. I recieved the following report this morning: >A local news report on WBZ TV last night said strikers at the Somerville >MA UPS depot are staying out and demanding that all strikers be called >back before any of them return. Four striking workers who had been charged >with breaking the law on the picket line were terminated. I don't know >what "crimes" they were charged with or how much support the action is >getting from the Teamsters leadership, but somebody ought to be paying >attention! for the one big union, CA Canny Portland, Or, USA IWW >Sorry about this, I know someone posted these before, but could some >kind soul send me a list of websites about the UPS strike? Another >Transport Worker bulletin is in the writing over here and they want >to include something on it. > >Thanks > >Richard >Manchester SF-IWA --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
