A 'solidarity fundraiser' for members of Teamsters Local 120 will take place June 2 from 7 p.m. to midnight at the UAW Local 879 hall, 2191 Ford Parkway, St. Paul.
The 'Stop Union Busting' event, sponsored by Local 879, will benefit two groups of workers from Local 120 - carhaulers who have been out of work since December, when General Motors canceled its contract with Allied Systems and gave the business to non-union Sierra Mountain Express - and drivers and dockworkers who have been maintaining an unfair labor practices strike against Overnite Transportation since October 1999. The fundraiser will include raffles, music, food, drink and speeches.
For information, call 651-699-4246.
