Overnite strikers rally in Pennsylvania
| Some 80 striking Teamsters and supporters marched and rallied February 18 outside the Overnite facility in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Pickets chanted, "What do we want? Contract! Who are we? Teamsters!" More than a dozen cars full of cops and sheriffs arrived to enforce a court injunction requiring strikers to maintain a 30-foot distance from the plant. Strikers plan to step up ambulatory picketing and ask other AFL-CIO unions to join this effort. |
