Parking/Transportation Tips for
July 16th Strike Sanction/Solidarity Event
Key Arena, Seattle Center
There are many parking lots around Key Arena/Seattle Center for this meeting since large public events are regularly held at the Center. See map below for some suggested lots. Carpooling is advised. Public transportation buses are another option.This is one time every three years we ask the members to show their solidarity.
Chartered Buses
If a shop wants to organize and get the required riders, the Union will help order a bus. The cost is $10 per person and buses must be filled with 47 riders to get this price. Deadline for ordering buses: Friday, July 11, 2008. Again, BUSES MUST BE FULL to get the $10 per person price. Buses will be staged where needed for pick up. Buses will leave immediately following the strike sanction meeting and will not be used for solidarity event. If you want to order a bus, or need any other information, call 206-764-0319 or 1-800-763-1301, ext. 3319.
