This past Monday, workers at American Licorice went on strike. All they're asking for is fair health care benefits, and in return the company wants to get rid of the union altogether. Bearded Man's mom has been working for this company for some 20 plus years and she's one of the people on strike. These are very confusing times, we work so hard at our jobs only to be told they want to get rid of you, that there's no money, that health care is too expensive. What the hell's going on in this country? Today we got a chance to go out there and join in on the strike. It truly was a family affair, people brought their kids and grandchildren. We were all there to support the people we love and who work so hard.

Our shift was over. Bearded Man decided to pose next to the Christmas tree the workers on strike had set up this week.
Next time you go the movies, say no to red vines or sour punch straws. This company wants to get rid of their union workers, these people have families to take care of.
