Local 3657 and Fight Back Pittsburgh Take to the Streets

This weekend members from Local 3657 and Fight Back Pittsburgh took to the streets with members of Local 7-669 fighting back against Honeywell’s attempt to eliminate their jobs and union in Metropolis, IL and with thousands of young people in Ferguson and St Louis fighting back against police violence and racism. It’s impossible not to be inspired by the determination of the Steelworkers in Metropolis who are fighting against one of the biggest companies in the world–who is hell bent on destroying their union and abandoning their community. It’s impossible not to be moved by the bold courage of the young people in Ferguson who are standing up in the face of 400 years of systematic oppression with the audacity to believe that, together, we are going to tear down that system and build something brighter.   “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains” Assada Shakur
