Sweatshop Activists Make Pitch to Allegheny County Airport Authority
11AM – Friday, April 11
Pittsburgh International Airport
Pittsburgh - On Friday April 11 at the Allegheny County Airport Authority’s Board meeting members of the Pittsburgh Anti Sweatshop Community Alliance (PASCA) will present a policy that would prohibit the procurement of uniforms made in sweatshops. The policy will be similar to the Anti Sweatshop Ordinances in adopted by the City of Pittsburgh in 1997 and Allegheny County in 2006. Should the Airport Authority adopt a policy it will be the second transportation hub in the country to do so, coming after an October 2006 resolution by the LA Board of Harbor Commissioners.

This Thursday, lawyers representing current and former Wild Edibles employees will be filing a contempt of court against Wild Edibles for violating a court injunction. The court-ordered injunction barred the company from firing any employees involved in the class-action lawsuit for back wages. The company has since violated the injunction multiple times, and has fired a total of 11 union members since August 2007. Come send a clear message to the boss that dirty union-busting tactics will not be tolerated! | ||

Deon Furtick, 31, father of three, was fired on Saturday, January 19th, after four years of service in the deli at the Harvest Food Coop in Jamaica Plain. He was fired without warning, supposedly for failing to punch out for a thirty minute lunch break, although this had been a common practice for deli employees. Deon had previously complained to Human Resources when he felt someone made a racist comment, and had been talking to co-workers about the benefits of organizing a union.
