  "Hold the line!" Shawn Powers (Bricklayers of California, Local 3), handed flyers to motorists entering the Safeway parking lot. "I'm showing my support for my union brothers and sisters in the Grocery Clerks because I feel that the healthcare issue is very important. Without healthcare benefits, you can get in real trouble!"

  Tom Lawson, labor liason for UNITED WAY, is seen here acting as liason between the police and the picket line. A police representative had asked the picketers not to block traffic and Tom is passing this on.

 
  Dirk Lackey, (Local 109 Drywall), discussed the issues with shoppers in Safeway's parking lot. He said, "The Union's interest in the family is why I am here."

 
  Karl Neubuerger, Local 49 Hotel and Resturant Workers: "I'm here because Safeway and the other big grocery chains are attacking the middle class, attacking the gains that we have made, and their attack is a threat to every union worker, to every worker. If we can't maintain decent healthcare for our families many people will be looking at economic ruin. I will be here as long as I need to be."
