Picket Line Cookbook
Food has been an important part of the current strike, with barbeques, chili days, potlucks, cookies, cakes and more - sustaining bodies and lifting spirits. We are hoping to produce a Picket Line Cookbook. This would be produced regardless of when the strike ends, and would be a commemorative souvenir of the Strike of 2007.
