      From the above post: "They continued: “Our artists, production team and partners have made clear that they will not cross a picket line. The team that is scheduled tomorrow to begin building our complex stage and set is made up of loyal production people who have an ongoing relationship with labor across the U.S. They also will not cross a picket line. These decisions reflect our own values: the farm and labor movements are inseparable, and we believe strongly that the University must return to the bargaining table in good faith.”

      Solidarity is always the answer for all workers fighting for justice, wherever they may be from.

      Boz Scaggs cut some fine sides back in the day. But the night Boz Scaggs tour bus drove through Local 251's primary picket line at Twin River Casino during the Local 251 strike there for the parking valets contract, was the night I stopped listening to Boz Scaggs. Willie and Neil Young, Mellencamp, and all the Union members that will honor the Local 320 strike in Minnestoa: Thank you and solidarity forever.

          The strike was shut down as it was garnering broader support, including from performers at the upcoming Farm Aid concert.
