Some find themselves as both the food pantry volunteer and customer
WEST CHESTER, Ohio — Hundreds of autoworkers in the Tri-State are going on weeks without pay as the UAW continues its strike against the Big Three automakers.
Because of their circumstances, some UAW members are both the volunteers and the customers at the food pantries. Like many UAW members who aren't working right now, Thomas said she's wondering where her next paycheck and meal are going to come from. "When I went through my orientation, we were all told this is a great time for you guys, and then two months later, here I am, wondering if I am going to have a job next month or next week," said Lori Messner, another Ford worker who was laid off."Not knowing if I'll be able to pay my rent, or you know, my car payment or whatever," said Messner."I've already asked for some help today, you know, to help supplement, since I haven't gotten paid.
