Network to Fight for Economic Justice backs SK Hand Tool strike
Stephanie Weiner of the Network to Fight for Economic Justice presented $1,500 to SK Hand Tool striker John McHale. The money was raised October 3, at the 'We Say Fight Back' conference in Chicago, where trade union, community, immigrant rights, and student activists came together to found the Network to Fight for Economic Justice. SK Hand and Tool strikers were prominent in the conference and attendees vowed to build support for the strike.
On August 25, workers struck SK Hand Tools because the company owner stopped paying their health insurance premiums as required by their contract.
