25 Nov 3 Ways to Support the Milk-Bone Strike
On October 28th, 165 members of BCTGM Local 36G went on strike against Milk-Bone (owned by J.M. Smucker) in Buffalo, New York.
The workers are fighting against an increased cost to their health care, low wages and the company’s blatant disrespect for the law and its employees. You can download a Fact Sheet on their strike here.
Here are THREE ways you can help BCTGM Local 36G HOLD THE LINE:
1) Join the picket line or drop off food/drinks/supplies.
Workers have a picket set up outside of their workplace:
243 Urban Street // Buffalo, NY 14211
2) Donate to their Strike Fund
The Strike Fund is helping workers meet basic needs and supply their strike line so they can remain steadfast in their mission for a fair contract.
Make checks payable to BCTGM International Union and write “Local 36G Strike Fund” in the memo line. Mail to:
