Jacques Loveall, president of Local 8 of the United Food and Commercial Workers, repeatedly shouted the slogan, "Solidarity works!" as he addressed the crowd in front of the Federal Building.
After the rally, Loveall left for San Francisco, where last ditch negotiations with Raley's were set to resume this afternoon. If there's no deal, and the workers' contract isn't extended, the UFCW could walk out Sunday morning.
The crowd included representatives of a slew of unions in the region, including the powerful Local 1000 of the Service Employees International, which represents state workers. If there's a strike, "we will not shop at Raley's," said Local 1000 president Yvonne Walker.
