Machinists are fighting for the next generation

Seattle Times writer (and Guild member) Danny Westneat has a column today about Machinist strikers fighting for the next generation: "Trying to keep good thing going." (After it goes into the archive, you can go to bugmenot.com to get a password to get into the site.)

Here's a quote in it from a 64-year-old striker:

"At my age, a strike's not so smart. It's going to cost me. If it was just me, I could vote for this contract. But they're sticking it to the young people, to workers just starting out. I absolutely won't go along with that."
