The 130 Stella D’Oro workers fighting a plant closing in the Bronx by private equity group Brynwood Partners are getting support from their congressman. New York Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel says when the striking workers won an NLRB decision that returned them to work, Brynwood Partners decided to close the plant.

: “That is a disgrace. Should not be happening n 2009. And this Congress needs to take note of it and needs to stand behind these workers."
