Strikes Win Support as Unions Tap Funds Across Cities
Both sides show strong funding for the printer strike. The union votes a weekly 10 percent assessment on wages, estimated to raise about $62,000 weekly, plus $80,000 from the AFL’s strike fund. Nonunion workers are ready to replace strikers, yet union leaders doubt the replacements can match skill. Major city centers including Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Philadelphia are involved.
