Milwaukee, March 2: Support the Palermo’s Boycott, Picket the Bradley Center!

11 a.m. – 1 p.m., 4th & State, Milwaukee

The MU Coalition for Worker Rights will be picketing outside the BMO Harris Bradley Center right before the MU-Notre Dame basketball game, demanding that Marquette University cut its contract with Palermo Villa, Inc.

Marquette University, despite being an affiliate of two international groups that support fair labor rights, has a contract with Palermo’s Pizza, a company that fired dozens of workers this summer for attempting to form a union.

The MUCWR stands in solidarity with the Palermo workers, and is urging Marquette to stand behind its principles and international agreements by cutting its contract with this exploitative company.

Meet on the corner of 4th and State St. at 11am; we will picket and flyer for about half an hour before holding a rally with speakers from the MU Coalition, the UWM Coalition, and the striking Palermo’s workers.

This will be big. Join the MUCWR in supporting the striking Palermo workers!
