Victory in Rio Tinto
Lockout!
 The
Los Angeles labor movement celebrated the announcement today of
a tentative settlement in the lockout of workers that has
ravaged the small mining town of Boron, CA.
“From
the day these workers were locked out by this giant foreign
corporation, we told them that we -- the LA labor movement
– would be their family and that families take care of
each other,” said Maria Elena Durazo, Executive
Secretary-Treasurer of the Los Angeles County Federation of
Labor, AFL-CIO.
From the moment the lockout began, the LA
labor movement sprang into action. In February, an
emergency car and truck caravan took more than $30,000 worth of
food to the locked out families. In April, we held a massive
picket line at the British Consulate. And this coming
weekend, a volunteer group of union physicians, nurses and other
health care professionals was set to conduct a free clinic in
Boron.
The entire labor movement -- from the Docks to the
Desert -- had a hand in this victory.
