Jobs with Justice shuts down two banks in one day

Jobs with Justice shuts down two banks in one day

JwJ members rally at KeyBank on International Human Rights Day to protest worker abuses at Oak Harbor Freight.

We had over 150 people for our Key Bank/Bank of America rally. Both banks closed early as we chanted, drummed and heard speeches from striking Oak Harbor worker Jeff Tyrrell, JwJ communtiy Co-Chair Fr. Bob Krueger, JwJ Organizer Eliana Machuca, and PSU Economics Professor Mary King. A delegation tried to go into Key Bank--where JwJ has an account, only to find the bank closed more than 40 minutes early! Guess they knew we werecoming! The group was able to talk to folks at the Bank of America briefly before there were escorted out of the bank, which also closed early.

Overall, it was a great action--spirited, powerful, and well-attended.
