AFMA Local 33 will hold its first solidarity rally since the start of the Northwest Airlines strike on Saturday, Aug. 27, the union announced.
The rally will begin at 11 a.m. at the "staging area" near the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Exit Interstate 494 at 34th Ave. or 24th Ave. and go to the parking lot of the Amerisuites hotel across the street from the airport.
Some 4,400 mechanics, cleaners and custodians represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association struck Northwest late Friday night. They oppose management demands to cut 2,000 jobs and slash the pay for remaining workers by 25 percent.
Speakers for the rally are still being contacted, the union said. The rally will follow the first meeting of a newly formed strike support committee that will meet at 10 a.m. at the AMFA Local 33 office. For more information, contact Local 33 at 952-224-5410.
