See WI AFL-CIO blog for update: http://wisaflcio.typepad.com/wisconsin-state-afl-cio-blog/2012/01/machinists-reject-contract.html

Today, members of Machinists Lodge 516 voted for the second time to reject the Manitowoc Cranes “freedom of choice” union-busting proposal. The members are thus still on strike and need lots of support.

If you are in the Manitowoc area you can stop by the picket line on 30th Street between Viebahn and Dewey in Manitowoc, M-F 6 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sat. 6 a.m.-12 noon. If going to join the picketline, please consider bringing hot beverages such as coffee, apple cider etc.

If you are a member of a union, community, student or faith-based organization consider taking a delegation down to the picketline, taking up a collection for the strikers, stopping by the strike headquarters, getting solidarity statements and resolutions etc.

Supporters of the strikers can also visit the Manitowoc Co. store in downtown Manitowoc to inform the company how you feel about their union-busting. 836 S 8th St  Manitowoc, WI 54220 (across from the Manitowoc Library).

Or write the company at: Manitowoc Cranes, 2401 South 30th Street, Manitowoc, WI 54220 / Email: info@manitowoc.com​ / Or fill out the online Manitowoc Co. contact form at:

This just in from the Indiana AFL-CIO:

Following the NFL Players Association statement on “right to work” Friday, six NFL players have sent letters to the Indiana state representatives and senators denouncing the so-called “right to work” legislation.

Trai Essex (Steelers), Rex Grossman (Redskins), Mark Clayton (Rams), Jay Cutler (Bears), Courtney Roby (Saints), and Kris Dielman (Chargers), all Indiana natives, urged lawmakers to “vote “NO” on the so-called “right-to-work” bills that are dividing working families at a time when communities need to stand united.”

They also stated that “as Indianapolis proudly prepares to host the Super Bowl, it should be a time to shine in the national spotlight and highlight the hard working families that make Indiana run instead of launching political attacks on their basic rights.”
