12 years ago, Jan 9 2012, activists organized by Occupy Oakland’s Labor Solidarity Council joined a picket of striking workers at Union City’s American Licorice factory. Occupiers physically blocked multiple vans carrying scabs from entering the factory, which produces Red Vines
Although workers appreciated the occupiers’ support, the strike unfortunately ended the following day, when workers voted to accept the company’s terms, including the cut in healthcare benefits which the strike had been called over
