WI Bail Out The People Movement Condemns Racist Attacks On Students of Color at UW Parkside

To Scott Walker: Denounce Attacks and Punish Those Responsible

Feb. 3, 2012

The Wisconsin Bail Out The People Movement condemns the attacks on students of color at the University of Wisconsin Parkside. We stand in solidarity with students of color, their communities and allies in opposing this latest racist attack.

Late Wednesday, Feb. 1, a noose fashioned from rubber bands was found in Pike River Suites (Dorms) at UW Parkside in Kenosha County. Early Thursday morning, Feb. 2, the person who reported the incident received a threatening note students and their allies are referring to as a “hit-list.” Later in the day, other threatening notes were discovered.

These despicable racist attacks are directly related to the climate fostered by the Scott Walker administration and the racist right-wing in Wisconsin including but not limited to abolishing affirmative action in the state’s construction industry, the union-busting laws that affect workers of color most directly, the attack on Voter ID laws, the attack on Native people with the proposed mine in the the Penokee Hills of northern WI, the attacks on affirmative action within the UW System and draconian tution increases which affect students of color most directly along with the historical racism in the state. This attack on people of color at UW-Parkside is also just months after the attempted Nazi September recruitment rally in West Allis and the ongoing Tea Party activities in the state.

We stand against racism and oppose these latest attacks on students of color and their communities and we stand ready to assist those fighting back against this terrorism aimed at people of color.

We call on Scott Walker to denounce these racist attacks and to punish those responsible for them.

Will 20 subcontracted Hyatt workers be tossed onto streets days after the Super Bowl?

Imagine coming into work one day and being told you would only be allowed to do your job for three more weeks. Then imagine that those three weeks would be the hardest, longest hours you had ever worked. Imagine that your boss would be making millions of dollars during that time while you made poverty wages.

At the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, workers don’t have to imagine it.

On January 19, Hyatt announced plans to cut ties with the subcontractor, Hospitality Staffing Solutions (HSS), informing staff that the last day for subcontracted workers would be February 8—just three days after the Super Bowl. Some of the twenty staffers whose jobs are now in jeopardy have worked full-time at the Hyatt for nearly a decade. So far, Hyatt has refused to hire them directly.

Hyatt’s announcement came just days after a number of subcontracted hotel workers stepped forward to file a federal lawsuit against the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, HSS and ten other hotels, alleging wage theft.

During the Super Bowl, hotels like Hyatt are slated to make millions.  Room rates at the Hyatt are expected to cost over $1000 per night. Yet Indianapolis hotel workers are among the lowest paid hotel workers in America.

Send an email to Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian and the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis General Manager Brian Comes to demand that the Hyatt hire subcontracted workers directly!
