A message from the CT AFL-CIO PRESIDENT:
More than 33,000 members of the Machinists Union (IAM) on the West Coast went on strike against Boeing on September 13.

IAM members are fighting for fair wage increases and restoration of a defined-benefit pension after dealing with years of cuts.

Stand in solidarity with our union siblings this Tuesday to let them know we have their backs!

Solidarity Rally with Striking Boeing Machinists
Date: Tuesday, October 15th
Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: Union Green in Middletown – across from Mondo (Google Maps)
Parking: Lots of street parking available (All parking options)

95% of IAM members voted against the last tentative agreement and are continuing to stay strong.

After walking out over a month ago, the Connecticut State Council of Machinists and the Central CT Labor Chapter are holding a solidarity rally to show our support.

There will be guest speakers, hot dogs and refreshments.

I hope to see you there!

In solidarity,

Ed Hawthorne, President
Connecticut AFL-CIO
