Teamsters Local 117
thanks the elected officials and political candidates who are supporting striking Davis Wire mill workers. They've walked the strike line, they've carried picket signs and they've brought food to the strikers. A message on Local 117's website reads:
Your support has been inspiring and helped build hope that the company will do the right thing and treat its workers fairly.
