More than 25,000 machinists at Boeing are entering the second month of their strike. Tom Wrobleski, President of International Association of Machinists District 751 in Seattle says strikers remain resolute as they enjoy widespread support in their fight for a good contract.

[Wrobleski]: “Nearly every union out here is doing whatever they can do to support us, whether it's coming and puttin' time in on the picket line, bringing by coffee, doughnuts, a bag of groceries or financial support. They are there with us, they support us. They know that your fight is what makes the labor community strong and they will benefit from your fight."
