Thought I'd posted something about this here a week or so ago? I'm so swamped I'm literally dizzy (think I'm still off from surgery), anyway, email from today:
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
The strikers at SK Hand Tools need community support to maintain the strike lines - please forward this e-mail widely!
Workers at SK Hand Tools in Chicago and suburban McCook began an unfair labor practice strike at 5:30am on August 25, 2009 after trying for months to get their health care reinstated. The workers are being forced to either forgo important medical check-ups and treatment or to go into debt putting the bills on their credit cards.
The strike lines are 24/7 at both locations and the strikers need people to join the lines in solidarity and to bring food, coffee, soda and water.
Chicago location: 3535 W. 47th St., Chicago
Suburban location: 9500 W. 55th St. (McCook, near Brookfield and
LaGrange)
Please visit the Teamsters 743 website (www.743teamsters.org) for more information.
In Solidarity,
Sarah
