Some 100 members from the Federation's King County locals and allies staged a spontaneous march in the Denny Regrade area of Seattle Saturday to step up the pressure for a fair budget and revenue settlement from the Legislature, which starts its special session today.
The members poured out of the Seattle Labor Temple on First Avenue and marched up the street to Key Arena at the Seattle Center. In the shadow of the Space Needle, they chanted, "Cut loopholes, not healthcare." One banner read: "Not on strike yet." Passing motorists honked and even handed out refreshments to support the wildcat protest.
They then marched back to the labor temple and got down to the hard work of planning more job actions to keep the pressure on legislators. One major action is Wednesday in Olympia-details to come shortly.
