On March 6th, after a militant, three-week long strike, UE Local 279 ratified a contract with Weir Valves and Controls in Ipswich, MA. The results of this strike illustrate the accomplishments that are possible when trade unions are willing to take risks and stand up for fair labor practices and a fair contract.
Across the country 15 Now is mobilizing for a week of strikes and actions by low wage workers, starting with Black Friday actions targeting Walmart, and culminating on December 4th with fast food strikes and other actions. Below is the text of a leaflet 15 Now chapters will be distributing at these actions, pointing the way forward for "$15 in 2015."
