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!

CALL TO ACTION

May 1st is International Workers’ Day

We march on May 1st to show our solidarity with working people everywhere. This includes immigrants, women, indigenous people, poor people, queer people, trans people, and people of color.

We march on May 1st to commemorate those who came before us to demand dignity on the job, those who came together to win such rights as the 8-hour day and the weekend. Today we continue to fight as these rights slowly slip away.

Start: 3:00 pm
End: 5:00 pm
