District 12 Supports Carrier Workers at 2016 Annual Carrier Meeting

On the morning of March 18, United Steelworker members from Locals 560, 675, 5632, 8599, along with Director Bob LaVenture and District 12 Staff Reps, handbilled people attending the 2016 Annual Carrier Meeting at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort in California. 

Standing in solidarity with our 1,400 Brothers and Sisters from Indianapolis, IN, they handed out USW flyers throughout the facility to conference participants, guests, workers, as well as placed on tables, in phone stations and in restrooms.  While some of our members were asked to leave the premises early on, others continued to hand out the remaining flyers until they ran out. 

Over 300 flyers were distributed in all and judging by their upset response to our presence, our success in crashing their party was quite effective, .
