Earlier this week, ten Detroit newspaper strikers were arrested in New York City outside the offices of the Rockefeller Foundation. After a strike lasting 18 months, the 2000 striking workers at the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press are now launching a nationwide civil disobedience campaigns against the board members of Gannett and Knight-Ridder, the owners of the papers.
