Yesterday’s picket in front of the Grassroots Campaign Inc offices was impressive. Lots of Wobblies and some friends showed up in Fremont [ a Seattle neighborhood], including 4 from the Whatcom-Skagit IWW branch. We marched around on the narrow sidewalk, chanted, and sang rabble-rousin’ songs. IWW members in Industrial Union 650 won a union election this spring, but management is not negotiating. Similar pickets took place at the same time at GCI offices in New Orleans [the workers there just won an IWW union election], Raleigh-Durham, Boston and Denver. Stay tuned for updates.
