Union members from each of the ASARCO locations in Arizona and Texas attended the 2020 Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration Annual Conference from Feb. 23-26 in Phoenix.
At the conference, they distributed thousands of handbills about our ongoing unfair labor practice strike, marched and chanted with allies from Tucson Jobs with Justice, CWA Locals 7050 & 7019, Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans, IATSE 336, UFCW Local 99, Maricopa Area Labor Federation, Pima Area Labor Federation, Arizona AFL-CIO and Healthcare Rising Arizona.
The chants were deafening and could be heard inside and for blocks outside the convention. ASARCO, its customers, suppliers and competitors definitely received a very loud and clear message.
