The Laborers Union has launched a "Toys for Strikers" drive to help the families of 76 striking Minneapolis Public Housing Authority employees during the holidays. Supporters also will rally to show solidarity with the strikers on Dec. 29.
The workers, members of Laborers Local 563, went on strike Dec. 14. They are service and maintenance employees at high-rises and townhomes. A key issue in the strike is fair wages, the union said.
To contribute to the Toys for Strikers drive, contact Dan McGowan, danmcgowan@qwest.net.
The strike support demonstration will be held Wednesday, Dec. 29, at noon outside the office of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, 1001 Washington Ave. N., Minneapolis.
For more information, contact the Local 563 office, 612-781-6933.
