    Eleven-month union battle at Dakota marks new contract - BY ERNEST MAILHOT, The Militant
    Hector Hernández, a young kill floor worker who helped put out the Workers’ Voice in earlier battles as well as in this most recent fight, said, “The majority of us learned that the bosses only look for their own benefit. They never, never see the work we do. They always look for more production. We learned that when all the workers unite we can win our objectives.”
