Siemens Industry is a major manufacturer of transportation rail accessories including passenger and freight rail cars. Only one of their plants is not yet unionized. That plant is in Sacramento where 1,600 workers have been organizing for a union. Election Day was March 13 and the Sacramento Central Labor Council which had sanctioned the drive encouraged their delegates to show their solidarity by joining the support picket line. Of course Peace and Freedom Party members were part of the organizing and picketing.
Peace and Freedom Party is one of many organizations that belong to the California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA) which is the only retired organization recognized by the AFL-CIO. PFP State Central Committee member C. T. Weber (pictured below) is one of CARA's state vice presidents and its delegate to the Sacramento Central Labor Council. SCLC Executive Director Fabrizio Sasso (shown below), also joined the picket line.
