To stand up for the right of self-defense against racist, sexist or anti-LGBTQ violence must be a fundamental right. Again the capitalist legal system cannot be relied on for justice. Only through building people’s power in the streets and in our communities can we win true justice for Trayvon Martin and freedom for Marissa Alexander and CeCe McDonald Now!

Sisters and Brothers,
I’ve got some big news for you. Last week, Palermo’s Pizza was forced to rehire eight workers—who were fired last year for organizing for a voice on the job—and give them tens of thousands of dollars in back pay.
Palermo’s owners Giacomo and Angelo Fallucca didn’t come to this decision out of the goodness of their hearts. It is because you, Bryan , and tens of thousands of others stood up to Palermo’s anti-worker actions over the past year that they reluctantly agreed to hire back these workers.
This is a big win, but it doesn’t end here. Palermo’s still needs to answer for a lot of things, including dealing with health and safety violations, taking responsibility for claims that another worker was fired for union activity and ending its continued refusal to discuss these issues with workers.
This settlement confirms what we’ve been saying all along—Palermo’s broke the law and used threats, intimidation and other dirty tactics to stop us from organizing.
Palermo’s and the Fallucca brothers no longer can hide behind the same tired talking points they’ve concocted to hide the truth. The bottom line is they violated workers’ right to organize and they’ll do it again if we don’t keep their feet to the fire.
It’s been more than a year since we went on strike. It’s far past time for Palermo’s to fix the problems it created.
Send a message to Palermo’s management to stop ignoring workers and meet with us, so we can work together to find a resolution.
In Solidarity,
Raul de la Torre
Palermo Workers Union
