On May 14th, 2010, Business Agent Roger Pardo and I traveled to Toppenish, Washington to support Local 760 members out on Strike with Silgan Containers.  We brought the Teamster’s 174 semi truck to show our solidarity with our Brothers and Sisters involved in a strike against Silgan Containers.

Upon arrival in Toppenish, we immediately witnessed signs of support from the community.  Sounds of car horns and motorists stopping by the picket line were just a few ways the public showed their support. The members of Local 760 welcomed us with open arms as though we had known them for decades.

Members and volunteers chanted “THE PEOPLE UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!"  The shouting was so deafening, the company was unsuccessful in drowning out the chants with loud speakers. We were proud to represent Local 174 and will continue to support any and all of our Brothers and Sisters.  “An injury to one is an injury to all”.
