Description
English: On June 1, 1992, hundreds of drywall workers walked off construction sites, demanding a union and higher wages. Five weeks into the walkout, 149 of them were arrested after sheriff's deputies said the men stormed a construction site in Mission Viejo, one of the largest mass arrests in Orange County. Nearly 90 of those arrested were in danger of being deported as undocumented immigrants. Acting in solidarity, the men refused a plea bargain and asked for trials. Read an L.A. Times article on the strike "Drywall Strike Centers on Issue of Equitable Pay."
