Manitowoc Machinists' Rally

Customize your message

At the beginning of this year, Gov Scott Walker stripped away the rights of public employees by taking away our collective bargaining rights.  And now executives at Manitowoc Cranes have taken a page from Scott Walker’s Union-Busting Hand Book.

At the last minute, the company slipped union-busting language into the contract proposal.  Proudly, the workers at Manitowoc Cranes stood together and voted overwhelming (180-2) to reject this attack on their union rights.  The issue isn’t wages or benefits -- but the fundamental right to a union.

This weekend there will be a solidarity rally to support the striking workers at Manitowoc Cranes.
 
What:  Solidarity Rally with Striking Machinists 
When:  Saturday, December 10 at 1:00 pm
Where:  Municipal Baseball Field, 2200 Grand Ave, Manitowoc, WI, 54220

Below are five things you can do to support our brothers and sisters on strike at Manitowoc Cranes:

1.    Attend the Solidarity Rally this Saturday, December 10.
2.    Sign the petition in support of the striking workers. http://act.aflcio.org/c/270/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=3222
3.    Give a gift to the Strike Assistance Fund:   MCI Strike Fund c/o Machinists Local 516, P. O. Box 222, Manitowoc, WI 54221-0222.
4.    Send food and toy donations for the striking families to IAMAW District Lodge 10 at 1650 S. 38th St., Milwaukee, WI, 53215-1726.
5.    Forward this email to 5 of your friends.

Workers from all sectors stood with us the Capitol this year, and now we need to stand in support with them.
