APRIL 1 THROUGH APRIL 5 IS THE SHUTDOWN BEING SUPPORTED BY MY COMPANY AND SEVERAL OTHERS I'VE SPOKEN TO. USCATTLEHAULERS.COM DID PROTEST THE END OF MARCH, BUT THE ACTUAL SHUTDOWN IS SCHEDULED FOR 8AM APRIL 1ST (ACCORDING TO THEIR WEBSITE) WE WORK WITH A LOT OF O/O AND EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO IS PARTICIPATING, I'VE ALSO GOTTEN CONFIRMATION THAT SCHNEIDER AND THE MIDWEST IIWW UNION (WITH 10000 COMMITED MEMBERS) ARE THROWING IN BUT DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST.

HOPE THAT HELPS,
TREENA
