MARQUETTE -- Yellow Dog Summer will hold an event at 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 15, in the Chapel of Messiah Lutheran Church, located at 305 W. Magnetic St., Marquette, Mich., in support of the roughly 560 workers in the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 30 who were locked out of their jobs at Rio Tinto’s Borax mine in southern California on Jan. 31.
The event will feature informal speakers, a film showing and refreshments.
"With Rio Tinto trying to slip through the backdoor in our community, we must stand in solidarity with the Borax workers and demand that Rio Tinto finally make good on their claims to respect worker rights and labor laws wherever the company operates," said Yellow Dog Summer organizer Teresa Bertossi.
