Members of the United Food and Commercial Workers union on strike against Dunkin' Donuts hold an informational picket line near the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. The workers walked out of the distribution center outside the city that serves the entire Northeast. The strikers are fighting for dignity on the job and against company firings of union members. Against the backdrop of a huge rat labeled Dunkin' Donuts, strikers told the press they are urging people not to patronize Dunkin' Donuts stores until the company agrees to treat the workers with respect and sign a contract with the union.
