Los Angeles solidarity with Wisconsin workers
Published Mar 30, 2011 6:11 PM
“We Stand with Wisconsin Workers” was the message from 15,000
workers and community allies at the March 26 “Our Communities, Our Good
Jobs” march through downtown Los Angeles and rally at Pershing Square.
Wisconsin Professional Firefighters Association President Mahlon Mitchell was
on the lead banner and spoke to the rally. He called on workers to “stay
in the streets” to win. A mini-rally at a Ralphs grocery store on the
march route put the full support of regional unions on the side of the Food and
Commercial Workers in their current contract negotiations. Bosses forced a
20-week strike in 2003-2004.
