American Axle Strike Tribute Dinner Video

On June 14, supporters of the American Axle strike hosted a tribute to the strikers at UAW Locals 235 and 262. It was a time to reflect on the lessons of the strike. Held at Local 235's hall, the event raised money both for laid-off American Axle workers and locked-out UAW members in Bronson, Michigan.

A special thanks to members of the American Axle strike committee; Tony Browning for providing the video, and Michael Merriweather for editing the film.
