Veteran's Day Strike Rally and Shawn Fain Video
Good afternoon Brothers and Sisters,
A VETERANS RALLY WE WILL NEVER FORGET
Today was about more than a strike. It was about honoring the veterans of Local 405 and recognizing the contributions they continue to make, both inside and outside our workplace.
At Local 405, we take tremendous pride in the work we do. We build components that support our nation’s military, and some of the men and women who build those components have served this country themselves. Their dedication to our country didn’t end when they came home. They continue to serve through the work they do every day.
We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the local unions, labor organizations, community supporters, and elected officials who came out today to stand with Local 405. Your presence, your words, and your solidarity meant more than you know. Seeing so many people come together in support of our membership was a powerful reminder that we are part of something much bigger.
To our veterans, thank you for your service, your sacrifices, and your continued commitment to this country and your union brothers and sisters. You deserve to be recognized, respected, and celebrated.
Today reminded us that this fight is bigger than Local 405. When working people stand together, our voices carry further. We are proud of the work we do, proud of the people who do it, and incredibly grateful for the solidarity shown today.
We build for those who serve. Today, those who serve stood with us.
