After sending two $500 contributions, Maritime Union of New Zealand Local 13 sent a formal letter of endorsement this week. “Local 13 is totally supportive of the stance taken by the Militant in exposing the C.W. Mining Company and its anti-union policies,” the message from Russell Mayn, secretary/treasurer, read. “Unions must support each other and publications like the Militant in their fight for fair and dignified work agreements.”

Another letter was received from Local 27 of the United Food and Commercial Workers union in Baltimore. Buddy Mays, president of the local, wrote to “commend your efforts against the attack on labor rights at the C.W. Mining Company.” He also asked to have the local included on the Militant Fighting Fund endorser list.

Six individuals sent in contributions to the Militant Fighting Fund this week, totaling $500.

To endorse the Militant Fighting Fund or make a much needed financial contribution, send to: P.O. Box 520994, Salt Lake City, Utah 84152, or fax (801) 924-5910.
