Macy's Engineers Strike! Local 39 facilities engineers are walking the picket line

Right now, Local 39 facilities engineers are walking the picket line in
Union Square, San Francisco and many other stores in Northern California. They are on
strike following an insulting round of negotiations with Macy's and their
parent company, Federated Department Stores Inc.

"With cost of living increases hovering over 3.5% per year, they wanted to continue their past practice of offering a paltry 6% stretched over a 3 year period. This doesn't even take into account the effect of the even smaller increase accepted in the prior contract, a combined effect that would put us 15% behind the prevailing wages of our fellow stationary engineers employed in buildings throughout the San Francisco Bay Area."

Please support the local 39 Engineers and do not shop Macy's!
