Indiana became the nation’s 23rd “Right to Work” state on Feb. 1. Union leaders blasted the legislation, and predicted it’ll boomerang at the ballot box this fall.
Union members reported for work Feb. 1 at American Crystal Sugar’s East Grand Forks factory. Rather than going inside to their jobs, however, they remained outside the gates of the factory where they were locked-out from their jobs six months ago to the day — and instead hollered at scabs going inside the plant.
After six months locked out by American Crystal Sugar, union workers in the Red River Valley are only growing stronger in their resolve to insist on a fair contract.
