CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A delegation of oil workers from United Steelworkers Local 8-719 on strike at Marathon Oil in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, holding banner, joined several thousand working people here March 7 protesting “right-to-work” bills before the legislature.

Delegations from the United Mine Workers of America, Teamsters, Steelworkers, United Food and Commercial Workers, building trades, teachers and public workers unions swelled the boisterous crowd. |
