Dec. 1-7 National Week of Justice: Slice of Justice: Support Palermo’s Workers!

http://sliceofjustice.com/

Workers at the Palermo’s Pizza factory in Milwaukee, WI have been on strike for safer working conditions, decent wages, and a voice at work since June of this year.  Rather than bargaining with workers, Palermo’s management has responded by firing more than 70 leaders of the strike.

The mega-retailer Costco is Palermo’s largest customer.  Rather than taking a stand for workers’ rights and encouraging Palermo’s to resolve the dispute, Costco continues to sell Palermo’s pizza.  Join us for a week of action December 1-7 at Costco stores across the country to tell Costco that Pizza Workers Deserve a Slice of Justice!

Stand With Walmart Workers!

Because Walmart, the largest retailer and the largest company in our country, is refusing to address concerns affecting over 1.4 million Associates, Walmart workers across the country, including Wisconsin, are planning to walk off the job on Black Friday.

You can help them out! Whether or not you plan to shop at Walmart on the busiest shopping day of the year, odds are you’ll be close to one. Stop by a Walmart and support workers fighting for their rights. Send letters to the CEO, managers etc.

Please share this card with your friends and family so we can make sure Walmart knows: THE COMMUNITY stands with workers!
