In 1989, there was a strike at GTE (General Telephone and Electronics Corporation) in California, where one of the union members, Gerardo "Jerry" Morales, was killed by a scab (replacement worker) who ran him over with a car while he was picketing.
While some of the striking workers and their families may have resources that they can turn to in these difficult times, others have extraordinary needs that they cannot meet without additional help.
