HAVE A SAFE LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!

Rally in support of locked out workers at ATI Waterbury

As you know the members of United Steelworkers Local 134L are currently being locked out by their employer ATI.  We will be holding a rally to support our members on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at all ATI locations and their headquarters.  Attached please find the flyer for the rally which will be held at our Waterbury worksite.  I would greatly appreciate it if you could do a mass e-mailing of the flyer to all our affiliates on the CT AFL-CIO e-mail list in an effort to get as many of our organized labor brothers and sisters, as well as our many community supporters to participate.

Please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Mike Alberino

FOODSHARE'S WALK AGAINST HUNGER

"I do not view the labor movement as part of the problem. To me, it's part of the solution. You cannot have a strong middle class without a strong labor movement."

-- President Barack Obama, Jan. 30, 2009

FIGHT FOR FIFTEEN!!!

 FIGHT FOR FIFTEEN!

"Just put some mustard on it–that will take the burning out of it." That's the SHOCKING directive made to McDonald's worker "C.B."  by her manager after she burned her arm with boiling hot grease. But this crazy treatment isn't the only problem.  Four out of five fast food workers have been burned –  most repeatedly, many badly – for one simple reason:  Fast food companies care way more about their profits than the  basic safety of their workers. See for yourself.  Watch the startling video McDonald's and the rest of the  fast food industry don't want you to see: Watch the video right now, then share it far and wide. Help hold  McDonald's and the rest of the fast food industry accountable for their  horrific lack of concern for the health of their employees.
