ATU 998 Members Ratify Contract

ATU_998_Ratify023A labor-community victory won on a social unionism basis for ATU 998 with major solidarity from AFSCME, the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association (MTEA), the Coalition for Justice and other Black Lives Matter activists, FIST, FRSO Fightback, the Latin American Solidarity Committee, Light Brigades, Riverwest Radio, Occupy groups, WI Bail Out The People Movement, Labor Forum on WRFG in Atlanta, Workers World Party and many more. And of course the examples of Black-White unity of the rank-n-file and their militant resistance to austerity and Jim Crow southern style politics in WI. A union won in 1934 with a long history of civil/human rights union history (including the late Father James Groppi as a previous president) continues to fight on to smash racism and union busting. Power to ATU 998 and community supporters! SOLIDARITY
