Unions across the country went on strike on Friday.
Frederick Frierson is with the Local 65 Baker's Union.
He says, "A lot of us been here 20, 30, 40 years. A lot of people put a lot of time and sweat into this bakery. And this is what they do to us."
Workers say this strike is not just for them. It's for their families too.
For the past three years, the 3 Gun Nation Pro Series shooting competition has only been for men.

Each pro has to use a riffle, shotgun, and pistol, and it's not easy to be a master of all three.
