Labor Leader Arrested During Protest By Seattle Grocery Workers komo news
Stern, a lawyer and former gas company welder and pipefitter, said after being released he was preparing to lead a final song at the end of the rally when he was asked to leave a crowded sidewalk in front of a Safeway store on Capitol Hill.
'It's going to be three minutes and we will be gone,' Stern said he replied. 'It (the arrest) makes no sense.'
After the song was done, he was handcuffed and arrested on a charge of obstruction, a misdemeanor.
Several dozen of those attending the noontime rally organized by Jobs with Justice and Washington Citizen Action walked a few blocks to the precinct house and began picketing in front of 18 baton-wielding officers. No additional arrests were made.------------------------------------------- posted 7:04 AM :: reference link ::
