Workers Rights Workshop - OH Valley GMB

Posted Sun, 09/27/2009 - 12:40pm by IWW.org Editor

Our friends from the Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center will be giving a workers rights workshop for us at GHQ. This is a great and timely opportunity for us as we currently have an organizing campaign that is starting to heat up and it is very important for all branch members to attend. Time will be set aside after the presentation to discuss the campaign and what you can do to help.

Protest Starbucks! Grand Rapids

Posted Fri, 07/10/2009 - 1:15pm by IWW.org Editor
Starbucks claims to be a "socially responsible" company. The facts prove otherwise. They have signed 6 settlement agreements with the National Labor Relations Board in the last 3 years claiming they would end anti-union intimidation. Only a couple percent of Starbucks coffee is certified Fair Trade - showing their willful neglect of coffee farmers supplying them beans is just as rampant as it is for the baristas who serve their coffee. Join current and former baristas as we demand: * Reinstatement of ALL wrongfully terminated baristas * End anti-union intimidation * Pay baristas and coffee farmers more than poverty wages Protest: July 25th 4:30 pm Starbucks East Grand Rapids 2172 Wealthy St. SE more information: Starbucksunion. org grsbuxunion. blogspot. com 616-881-5263
