Body:

With your help, the workers at Stepan Chemicals in New Jersey (mentioned in the April 2006 Solidarity Network) have returned to work, ending a 14-week strike after being locked out. Your donations, calls to headquarters, and emails of support made this victory possible.

The workers, new members of the United Electrical Workers (UE), proved that management was spending more on keeping the workers locked out than it would have cost to meet their original demands.

"It shows that even when it looks like unions are taking it on the chin everywhere, you can stand up to the boss and win," said UE General President John Hovis.
