Dear Sisters and Brothers: The strikers at SK Hand Tools need community support to maintain the strike lines - please forward this e-mail widely! Workers at SK Hand Tools in Chicago and suburban McCook began an unfair labor practice strike at 5:30am on August 25, 2009 after trying for months to get their health care reinstated. The workers are being forced to either forgo important medical check-ups and treatment or to go into debt putting the bills on their credit cards. The strike lines are 24/7 at both locations and the strikers need people to join the lines in solidarity and to bring food, coffee, soda and water. Chicago location: 3535 W. 47th St., Chicago Suburban location: 9500 W. 55th St. (McCook, near Brookfield and LaGrange) Please visit the Teamsters 743 website (www.743teamsters.org) for more information.
