BATH — A motorcycle group roared down Washington Street in Bath Friday afternoon to show solidarity with Local S6, Bath Iron Works’ largest union, which went on strike last week.
The rally was organized by the Ronnie Rockets Ice Tires Facebook page to “show support to my union brothers and sisters currently striking at BIW for a fair contract.”
