Yesterday’s protest: Save Our Jobs Rally

The parking garage at Metropolitan Community College’s Penn Valley campus was a virtual show room of Fords and Chevys as autoworkers poured into the second-floor gymnasium for a Save Our Jobs rally Sunday afternoon. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon fired up the crowd, telling the union men and women, “Giving up on Missouri’s auto industry is simply not an option.”

Larry Lake was just one of the workers happy to hear state and federal politicians pledging to fight for his job.
