“Workers at a Fresno manufacturing company went on strike yesterday. Today they held a press conference at the job site to explain why workers had walked off the job. “This strike is for dignity and respect,” said Angel Gomez an employee who has worked at CMC Rebar for more than ten years. Douglas Ballis, general organizer for the Ironworkers International union, said a company supervisor threatened to have one of the Latino workers killed by the Aryan Brotherhood. Ballis said that was “the straw that broke the camels back.” “
