\r\n\r\nThe Union workers of SEIU Local 1877 are on strike against defense contractors; Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman. At issue are; extremely low pay and poor working conditions. In addition workers currently receive no healthcare benefits.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nToday a march and rally was held. Workers marched to Raytheon’s offices in El Segundo. Picket lines are up and are planned to stay up until the strike is settled.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nPeace and social justice activists are welcome to join in support of the workers. This strike should be of particular interest to anti-war activists given the war profiteering that these corporations are currently indulged in.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nThis Friday, July 8th at 10:30 AM there is a rally in support of the workers at same address. Also, massive picket lines are held every day at 4:30 PM at Imperial Highway & Hughes Way in El Segundo at the entrance to Raytheon. \r\n<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.seiu1877.org\/","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"Local Janitor\u2019s Strike against Defense Contractors.<\/b><\/u>","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2005\/07\/131889.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
