Teamsters by the thousands stand with Wisconsin

(The International Brotherhood of Teamsters issued the following on February 27, 2011.)

WASHINGTON, D.C. Thousands of Teamsters across America showed their solidarity with workers in Wisconsin on Saturday after a long week of protests in the Midwest. Hundreds of our brothers and sisters from locals in Ohio, Indiana, Northern Kentucky and Wisconsin swelled the ranks of statehouse protesters all week. Saturday was not a day off for them.

Labor unions organized rallies across the country on Saturday, while moveon.org brought people to all 50 state capitals and the District of Columbia. The Teamsters red and blue "Stop the War on Workers" signs were visible from Miami to San Diego, from Olympia to Atlanta, in South Bend, Ind., and Madison, Wisc. 

We estimate at least 300 Teamsters marched toward the Statehouse for the historic rally, which drew 100,000 people. 

The full story appears on the Teamster Nation website.
