Strikers Defy Visteon's Company Thugs By LEE SUSTAR, CounterPunch
Striking workers and their supporters at a Visteon Corp. auto parts plant refused to be intimidated after security guards attacked their picket line May 30. So the 1,000 strikers--members of International Union of Electrical Workers-Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA) Local 84907--fought back.
The two attacks on their picket line by company thugs--followed by two more beatings from Indiana State Police later on--sent more than a dozen workers to the hospital. But workers refused to be cowed.------------------------------------------- posted 6:47 AM :: reference link ::
