Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Union members who work at Mott’s, in Wayne County, have been on strike for one month as of today. The plant’s owner, Dr. Pepper/Snapple (DPS) of Plano, Texas, is demanding a $1.50 per hour pay cut, less health insurance, a pension freeze, and many other concessions. That was the company’s final offer in spite of making a $555 million profit in 2009.
This fight is our fight – to keep decent paying jobs in the Rochester area.
PLEASE JOIN CSEA AND OTHER ACTIVISTS WHO CARE ABOUT THE WORKING FAMILIES OF UPSTATE NEW YORK. Wear your CSEA shirts or if you don't have one, I'll have some extras at the rally. I hope to see you Saturday!!
What: Rally with Local 220 members and their families, RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum, UFCW International Executive Vice President Pat O'Niell, NYS AFL-CIO President Denis Hughes, Workers United President Bruce Raynor, Fr. Brian Jordan and many others.
When: Saturday, June 26th, at 11:00 am
Where: 4363 RT. 104, Williamson, N.Y. (you can't miss it)
