Benedictines for Peace sponsored a Silent Peace Walk at the site of the United Electrical Workers strike at the Wabtec plant in Erie. The Benedictine Sisters' statement is available here. Strikers joined sisters, oblates, and friends for the 20-minute silent walk/prayer for peace. In her introduction to the walk, Sister Ann Muczynski noted that the Benedictine Sisters share some of the concerns of the striking workers, including the right to strike and also the desire to pivot to green technology. In a news interview at the conclusion of the walk, Sister Jacqueline Sanchez-Small noted, "We're moved by the workers' struggle, we know there is a human cost to what they are doing."
