Union Members Distribute Food for Federal Workers
More than a dozen volunteers gathered on November 14 at the Community Resource Center in North Charleston for a large-scale food distribution aimed at supporting federal employees reeling from the effects of the recent government shutdown. Organizers described the event as an early step in building a broader “Federal Worker Fightback” to stop job and service cuts and the erosion of worker power.
