    Union demonstrators plan mass arrests at Yale The strategy behind the multi-union demonstration was to garner support from other unions to pressure Yale, the demonstration's organizers said. By noon, trucks, buses and carloads full of carpentry, electrical and food service unions were parked near Yale's campus.
    'We brought 700 people from this union alone, because we believe in the fight,' said Doug McCarron, national president of the United Brothers of Carpenters.
