Many workers may have begun to feel down and defeated. But all of a sudden new life is being breathed into our campaign - with major national media catching on to our story and producing some good pieces that are getting noticed by all the right people.

We are not anywhere near done fighting. Talk to your co-workers, talk to your union. Let your bosses know we mean business. reach oiut to the media, reach out to allies in the ecommunity. Plan actions. Lets Do This!
