We'd like to thank the many folks that have called and offered their support during our strike. As members of our community, whether in the P.T.A., coaching in our children's sports leagues, or being active in our local churches, we know our values and the values of our community are the same. Our local businesses, area unions, and individuals have stepped up and volunteered and donated to our cause. Having support from you is what keeps us going, for justice in the workplace. Thank you all!
