Strikers in picket shacks November 23 outside Point Blank Body Armor in Oakland Park, Florida, north of Miami. Some 200 members of the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees walked off the job in August to demand wage hikes above the $6 per hour that most receive, and an end to abusive conditions on the job, including lack of water and air conditioning. Point Blank produces bullet-proof vests and riot gear for the U.S. military and police forces.
