Williamson, N.Y.--  As the Mott's strike enters it's fifth week, the basic need to make ends meet rush to minds of the workers and their families as they walk the picket lines in this rural stretch of RT. 104 in Wayne County.  The union said as many as 200 striking families have been seeking some type of assistance.

Bess Watts, President of CSEA Monroe County Local 828 is asking CSEA members to donate non-perishable food items such as pasta, sauce, cereals, boxed meals, and canned goods.  We are teaming up with Next Generation United to provide weekly drop-offs - Thursdays from 2-4 P.M. at the NILICO office, 1567 East Henrietta Road, Rochester, NY 14623, or you can call 585.426.0862 to arrange a pick up if necessary.

 NILICO (OPEIU Local 277) has pledged to keep this drive running until the strike ends and CSEA is committed to help these families in a time of need and crisis. 

See you on Saturday, June 26 at a huge rally (see related story) at the Mott's plant on RT. 104 in Williamson, N.Y. at 11:00 A.M.  Park your car at the Williamson Town Hall/Public Library, 6380 Route 21 (Lake Avenue) - Behind McDonald's on Route 104, less than 1/2 mile walk to rally site or catch the shuttle buses that will be provided.

Let's stand united and keep fighting the good fight.  The Mott's workers are not only sacrificing for themselves and their loved ones, they are doing it for all working families.  See a video of RWDSU workers speaking out about how this fight has affected their lives.
