On May 6, union iron workers built an addition at Greenfield Community College and the owners of the Greenfield Music Store sold and installed home and car stereos, while also gathering signatures on a petition seeking to slow down city approval of a new Wal-Mart. The iron workers said they are proud members of the www.IronWorkers.org union which has given them a middle class standard of living.
Many non-union iron workers in the Valley live in poverty and work in unsafe conditions. The iron workers are, from left to right: Tony Sicliano, Robert Lukasik, and Donnie Gates.
