 Please join us for a massive Emergency Action to Defend Woodfin Suites Workers Thursday, May 3rd 5 PM at the Woodfin Suites Hotel 5800 Shellmound, Emeryville From EBASE: Last week, twelve Woodfin workers were fired in retaliation for blowing the whistle on living wage violations at the Woodfin Suites in Emeryville. These workers have spent nearly a year in a courageous fight to win decent working conditions and defend their jobs from the Woodfin's anti-worker, anti-immigrant attacks. They are now fighting for immediate reinstatement and over $200,000 in back pay owed to them. And they need OUR help! For more information, visit www.workingeastbay.org |
