Kay, a musician and former farmer, said he’d been coming to the American Licorice picket line for the last couple of weeks but that the Occupy Oakland Labor Solidarity Council agreed last weekend to hold a more organized and concentrated effort Monday in Union City.

“Occupy Oakland has evolved,” Kay said. “We see any situation in our area where people are being scared by the One Percent, and if we have time for it, we’re going to help.”

... factory workers said they’re grateful that their issue is receiving greater attention and support from the Occupy Movement.

“We’re happy. We want more Occupy people to come,” said Victor Nguyen, 47, who has worked at the factory for 14 years.

Go Occupy Oakland!

Support the strikers, don't eat scab licorice!

5. No matter how hard they try, they cannot shut down this movement.

It's going to grow and grow because it is the only real hope of getting the control of this government back into the hands of the people.

Oakland brought in armies of thugs to try to scare them and all they did was expose the reality that many people only suspected, no one in power is on the side of the people, yet.
