Wichita Machinists on strike against Hawker Beechcraft are getting help feeding their families.
Volunteers packaed up boxes of food for striking machinists today.
Each worker will get a bag of groceries that's enough to feed a family of four. The food will be handed out once a week until the strike ends. "Every little bit helps... it helps us become united and be stronger and let the company know we're all together, stick together so we can get what we want," said Tywanna Thompson.
Machinists in Wichita and Salina walked off the job on August 4th. No new talks have been scheduled between HBC and the Machinists Union.
