Workers from around the state of Wisconsin will be driving up to support those on strike.
Andrew May, a semi-truck driver and member of Teamster Local 344 and the United Workers Organization, states, “I’m supporting the strikers to show solidarity. The more strength and support they have, the easier it is to have a fair contract and win a victory for Wisconsin workers. Workers should go to the picket lines and stand with them and spread the word locally in their own workplaces and communities.”
