SHARE: The first strike in over 30 years at the Hunts Point Produce Market in the South Bronx was a resounding success. On Jan. 23, after organizing outdoors in the cold for almost a full week, workers at the distribution center represented by Teamsters Local 202 were able to celebrate a new contract with hourly raises, better health benefits, and forthcoming one-time bonuses. Before the agreement, the strike had also evolved into a place to see and be seen for many New York City politicians. A crowd of elected officials flocked to support the workers, and add their star power to the existing infamy of Scabby the inflatable rat.
