IWW Rally to Support Shattuck Cinema Workers
Submitted on Sun, 09/03/2006 - 4:30am
IWW Members from around the globe have travelled far and wide to attend the annual General Assembly of the Industrial Workers of the World, which is being hosted this year by the San Francisco General Membership Branch of the IWW in Oakland, California.
On Friday, September 1, 2006, hundreds of Wobblies rallied outside of the Shattuck Cinema Landmark Theater to stand in solidarity with the Shattuck Cinema workers who're negotiating their first union contract after winning their union election in the summer.
Pictured here are many of the attending IWW members, including Shattuck Cinema workers and Daniel Gross from New York City who was fired for organizing Starbucks Workers in New York City. The IWW has pledged to fight this illegal termination and continues to organize at Starbucks internationally. Coincidentally, a Starbucks is located next door to the Shattuck Cinema.
The whole world is watching and the Wobblies are organizing!
