Despite a roaring blizzard and up to 10 inches of snow, more than 200 Chicago-area union members, activists and allies marked International Human Rights Day with a Dec. 8 rally at the Historic Haymarket Memorial. The rally highlighted efforts by employees to form a union with AFSCME in the Resurrection Health Care hospital system and with IBEW at Comcast Corp. Workers shared stories of intimidation, harassment and even firing by their employers for speaking out and trying to form a union at their workplaces.
