| Five hundred people marched in Pasco, Washington, June 3 in support of meat packers at IBP, Smith Frozen Foods, and Lamb-Weston, three plants organized by Teamsters Local 556. Workers at Smith recently rejected a takeback contract. "This march is to address the dangerous conditions at the plant like the high line speed and slippery floors, as well as harassment and discrimination," said IBP shop steward José Meraz. |
