On September 20, United Steelworker members from Local 1123 in Canton, OH united with locked out brothers and sisters from Local 1046 in Louisville, OH. We were joined by many friends and family from locals in Akron and Wooster, OH.
Some of notable people in attendance included Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga; Hall of Fame Labor Council President Dan Sciury; Sarah Lowry representing for Ohio Senator, Sherrod Brown; Sub District 2 Representatives Dennis Brommer and Joe Sterling; District 5 Representatives David Mclean, Ramona Arnold, Ron Wardrup, USW Local 1123 WOS Coordinator Teresa Hartley.
Participants handed out informational flyers, over 100 pounds of candy and almost 3,000 American flags that were donated by the Veterans Council of Stark County. The decorations seen on the Local 1123 parade truck were handmade by Carrie Holland. Pictures were provided by Karen Clapper.
