FOR 9 MONTHS, 230 MUSICIAN instrument makers at the Vincent Bach Conn-Selmer plant in Elkhart, Indiana have been on strike. This is the longest ongoing strike in the United States. The company that owns this plant, is Steinway Musical Inc. This large musical instrument maker was taken over by CEO Dana Messina and other speculators who got their "training" under stock manipulator Michael Milken. They have sought to destroy the healthcare and pension rights of the workers and drive out those workers who were over 50 years of age. Also over 120 replacement workers (scabs) have been brought into the plant to break the back of the strike.

Join strikers and other labor activists on Sunday January 21, 2007 at 2:00 PM where they discuss their struggle.

Also the benefit will stream the new film "Mother Jones, The Most Dangerous Women in America" by labor historian and videographer Rose Feurer.
