    Union Organizers Visit Northrop Grumman Newport News, Va., Shipyard By Peter Dujardin
    Organizers from the United Steelworkers of America took to the gates outside Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard Friday morning, passing out blank union cards and urging more shipyard workers to sign up.

    "Come on, guys, power up," said Mike Lee, a yard worker and union organizing committee member, handing the cards near the corner of 46th Street and Washington Avenue as streams of shipbuilders filed past at about 6:15 a.m. "Sign up a friend today, and help us out."
