Militant/Scott Breen

More than 300 people marched through Sunnyside, Washington, to support workers on strike against Valley Manufactured Housing. The April 8 "Solidarity Rally and Barbecue" was called to back the 130 members of WCIW (Western Council of Industrial Workers) Local 2739 who have been on strike since Aug. 25, 1999. Strikers and their families were joined by more than 100 Steelworkers locked-out by Kaiser Aluminum in Spokane, as well as meat packers from IBP and delegations from WCIW locals in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.
