Striking Moncure Plywood workers from IAM local W369 rally outside Chatham County courthouse in Pittsboro, N.C. along with over 100 community supporters on Dec. 20, the 5 month anniversary of when the workers were forced out on strike. The bosses tried to make workers concede 60-hour work weeks, 300% increase in health insurance payments, attacks on seniority and more. Angaza Laughinghouse, president of UE 150, pictured wearing cap, is on the bullhorn.
