Roger Cawthra was one of 9,000 bus drivers, mechanics and baggage handlers who went on strike against Greyhound in March 1990. One week into the strike, Cawthra was framed up on bogus charges of firing shots at a scab bus.

This pamphlet explains both the frame-up of Cawthra and the campaign to defend him waged by the Workers League and the International Labor Defense Committee. Neither the Amalgamated Transit Union nor the AFL-CIO defended Cawthra.
