A large rally is planned for Friday, May 18, to support 64 Benton County social service workers on strike since May 2.
A mediation session was scheduled Tuesday between AFSCME Local 1243 and the county. Rally organizers said "if it goes well" the rally may be cancelled.
As it stands, the event is set for 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Friday at Lion's Park, 323 Oak Drive in Foley. More information is available by contacting AFSCME Council 65 Staff Representative Char Brink, 218-590-6898.
The key issue in the strike is wages, Brink said.
