Fifteen people arrested in an anti-sweatshop protest Sept. 25 at the Kohl's department store in Roseville appeared in Ramsey County district court Thursday.
All of them either paid a $100 fine or agreed to perform 20 hours of community service to resolve the charges, said Rob McKenzie, president of United Auto Workers Local 879 and one of those arrested.
The 15 were arrested when they refused to leave the sidewalk in front of the Kohl's store, after being ordered to do so by Roseville police. The act of civil disobedience dramatized the struggle faced by Nicaraguan factory workers who make clothing sold at Kohl's stores. The arrests followed a rally of more than 100 people, including two Nicaraguan workers who were on a national tour of the United States.

McKenzie said he was proud to participate in the action to build awareness of the difficulties facing workers in other countries who are trying to form unions. "People were very supportive in the (Ford) plant" where he works, he said, with some even contributing funds to pay his fine.
