I.W.W. SOLIDARITY NIGHT Saturday March 3 • Seward Cafe • 2129 East Franklin Ave. $5 a head • Food & Drink Available • Doors open 7 pm FRIENDLY • ALEX the KID • the MOJO SPLEENS Over the last year immigrant workers at 5 warehouses in Brooklyn & Queens, NY have been organizing with the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) for better pay and conditions on the job. Many of these workers had previously been working 65+ hours a week for under the minimum wage. I.W.W. campaigns have forced the warehouse owners to negotiate better wages, paid vacations and sick time, grievance procedures, and an end to threats over immigration status. But recently, the owners at the Sunrise Plus Co. reneged on agreements and fired 13 of the union workers. An Injury to One is an Injury to All! Donations can also be made through PayPal on the Internet, by sending money to iww-nyc@iww.org. For more information, please contact: I.W.W. Twin Cities GMB: TwinCities@iww.org (612) 339-1266
