Overall, we think it was a big victory. The little guy doesn't have to subsidize the fat cat's health care.

This is a victory for public health. It makes no sense to allow huge multi-million-dollar projects that drastically increase air pollution without installing up-to-date pollution controls or even notifying nearby residents.

All of the three issues - work rules, wages and health care - are being discussed tonight.

It's a life-and-death issue for us.

The last strike lasted 40 days (in 1998), so this union is not afraid of a long strike. They will stand up for what they believe.

We've paid for health care and we're not going to pay again. We're not going to change our position.
