UPDATE - Top City Pay your workers!

As of this afternoon workers at top city are going back to work. The boss agreed to pay min wage and overtime and open to further discussions.

Thanks to everyone for the support; we know that a lot of people called and that scared the s@$+! out of the boss.  The workers at Top City want to send a strong message of solidarity back to everyone who took action. 

More to come - no picket tomorrow morning!

Original Alert

At 5:00 AM Monday December 18, 2006 IWW members from Top produce, Handy Fat, Ez-Supply and Starbucks along with members of SDS marched on Top City Produce to demand justice.  

Workers at Top City refused to go to work until the boss agreed to obey the law.  For too long workers have been working 72 hour weeks with no overtime, wages less than minimum wage, no benefits and no respect.  

Workers in the Food Industry warehouses in Brooklyn are organizing to end exploitation and demand their rights as workers    The time has come for the bosses to pay up, obey the laws and recognize the union!

After 3 hours of picketing the boss still refused to recognize the union or agree to pay minimum wage.   We will be back out at 5 AM Tuesday December 19th please join us.  A fight is being waged and we need your help!
