Yesterday at least 6000 Steelworkers and other unionists gathered in Mansfield, Ohio in a show support for the locked out and scabbed upon members of USWA Local 169.

Mansfield is a small out of the way Ohio industrial city. Mansfield is not near any major media center and for this reason the violent actions of AK Steel Corp. have not been getting the scrutiny they deserve. AK Steel Corp. has committed violence on the community of Mansfield by introducing scabs into a labor dispute. AK Steel Corp. has committed violence on the community of Mansfield by introducing a high-tech, well trained so-called security agency run by a former(?) CIA agent into a labor dispute.

For all of you past, present, and future federal officials get this...the AFT and the FBI have been getting really chummy with AK Steel Corporation. According to our sources, a top local cop, The AFT and The FBI have been getting together with AK Steel Corp. management everyday for lunch! I wonder whose paying for these lunches? Is this part of the old boy AFT-FBI-CIA federal police network?
