Video: Danny Glover supports workers as Bemis strike continues

Workers United members of Local 1426 in Terre Haute, Indiana recently rejected a contract offer by their employer and voted to continue to strike. The company continues to insist on implementing invasive health coverage testing for both workers and their spouses, as well as a temporary worker program that would reduce the number of permanent jobs.

The members of Local 1426 need your support -- please stand with them and tell Bemis Manufacturing company that workers aren't lab rats.
