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.

Shortly before noon, we will march the 2 blocks to the E. 33rd and Park Blvd for a moment of silence. This is where a bomb planted in her car exploded and nearly killed Judi Bari on May 24 in 1990. In 2003, the City of Oakland declared May 24 Judi Bari Day. Please join us! Look for the colorful banner that says "Don't Ever Give Up!"

It was 11 years ago that Judi, after fighting the FBI, fighting for the forests and the workers, and putting together a Constitutional rights lawsuit against the FBI and Oakland cops, tragically died of cancer at her home.
