the local that is now walking the picket line.
Lots of memories of standing on Michigan Ave, in the cold, warming up around the burn barrel. All of those car driving by giving us a honk. Some folks stopping by with a box of donuts for us. Can’t tell you how much that would raise our spirits.
I retired from my job, with a defined pension over 21 years ago.
No more retirement like I had. Still the same pay rate I had back then.
Companies have record profits this year and can afford massive stock buy backs that benefit large stock holders, like CEOs. All while the workers are stuck with 2002 compensation. How much have the prices of cars gone up in that time?
If you happen to drive by a picket line, at least honk your horn and pump a fist. Drop off some food and encouragement.
