Rite Aid workers fight for first contract » peoplesworld

Juan wrote this interesting article a couple of weeks ago about a union struggle that has been taking place in Lancaster, California for years. The ILWU has organized Rite Aid distribution workers and is fighting for a first contract against management who are acting in bad faith. While the ILWU mostly represents dock workers, this struggle gives a new dimension because you can't put up a picket line in the middle of the ocean but you can in front of a Rite Aid store. The YCL in Oakland is organizing in support of the Rite Aid distribution workers and we hope to show creative solidarity with these fellow workers.
