Union Voice/Readers Write: Remembering the Memphis Strikers' Union

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

“Your piece on MLK and Memphis (3/28 Union City Labor History) failed to mention that these strikers were all members of AFSCME Local 1733, the city's sanitation workers,” writes Don Wasserman. “This is not to take away from the absolute first-rate work that you do in getting out ‘Union City’ every day. It's a great way for me to keep up on what's happening on the local labor scene. Please keep up the great work.” photo courtesy Walter P. Reuther Library
