Locked-out sugar workers and supporters march across the bridge between Moorhead, Minn., and Fargo, N.D.

BCTGM members Dorsey Moss (left) and Sie Rawls, workers at the Drayton plant, said beet growers are forgetting that "Labor's been one of their main allies" on issues like federal trade and agricultural legislation.

Union members are maintaining informational picketing around the clock at plants as American Crystal Sugar brings in replacement workers. At the Moorhead plant, BCTGM Local 167G members Wayne Duckstad, Trevor Holmquist and Mel Forter acknowledge a driver who honked his car horn in support.
