promise you, and I know that your children, and I know that hose who come after us, that avement is not going to be is going to be built. Thank Ray Rogers, speaking at the Austin Emergency Appeal rally on July 13, took advantage of the occasion to announce the start of door-to-door fundraising in the Minneapolis area for P-gers and their supporters.
Rogers said the campaign would be conducted in the style of door-to-door political canvassing in which P-9's case will bé explained and contributions requested. Money raised will be channeled into the new union's [NAMPU/P9] hardship fund, its legal bills, and other needs.
Finances for P-9ers on strike have been almost completely disrupted by the courts and the UFCW leadership's seizure of all financial assets and bank accounts in the receivership action. [See July 1986 issue of Socialist Action.] Also many strike activists were denied unemployment benefits when the UFCW International declared the strike over in June. Normally, workers who have been permanently replaced in a strike become eligible for unemployment benefits once the strike is ended.
Even for those P-9ers deemed eligible, those benefits will stop after Aug. 17, the anniversary of the walkout. Funds are urgently needed. Checks should be made out and sent to: Austin United Support Group, P.O. Box 396, Austin, MN 55912, Tel. (507) 437-4110.
