Last night protestors in Minneapolis took to the streets to demand ‪#‎Justice4Jamar‬. Jamar Clark was shot by police while laying on his stomach and handcuffed, posing no threat. The incident between Jamar and MPLS police was caught on video and would back up eye-witnesses testimony saying that Jamar was shot “execution style”. More than 50 people were arrested after refusing to move from the I-94 in Minneapolis last night.

Since 1970, Native Americans and our supporters have gathered at noon on Cole’s Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US thanksgiving holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers. Thanksgiving day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless assault on Native culture. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.

46th National Day of Mourning: November 26, 2015
12:00 noon
Coles Hill Plymouth, MA

Brothers and Sisters,

The members of United Auto Workers Local 833 voted yesterday, November 15, to go on strike at Kohler Company.

Almost 2,000 members came together to say ‘enough is enough’ and voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest Kohler proposal.

Why is this happening?

Five years ago, during threats of company cutbacks during the recession, the members of UAW 833 made concessions. A two-tier wage system was implemented, where newer employees are paid less than long-term workers. Workers faced wage freezes and increased health insurance costs.

Kohler’s workers have done their part.

Now, the economy is in a different place than it was five years ago. The company is strong. Times have changed. Kohler employees deserve and demand better.

We know that Kohler can afford to do better for the workers that have made the company strong and profitable. More than ninety-three percent of workers voted to go on strike, and we need to stand with our brothers and sisters who are now on the picket line.

How can you help?

We urge all union members to take action in support of the workers of UAW 833:

• Sign the petition calling on Kohler to return to the negotiating table, give fair and equal treatment to their employees, and move away from the two-tier wage structure.
• Join the picket line anytime at the Clock Tower, 444 Highland Drive, Kohler, and stand in solidarity with UAW Local 833.

It’s time to end the practice of cutting wages and benefits for the middle class.

UAW workers are on the front line of negotiating for fair wages and benefits for middle-class families and we stand strongly with them in the struggle.

In Solidarity,

Phil Neuenfeldt, President
Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer
