From the Progressive Calendar:

CLAREMONT WORKERS FIRST MARCH
4:30 gather at Rockridge BART, 5pm March up College
Ave. to College and Ashby
Final Gathering at Oak Park on Domingo Ave

Many of you helped us win a fair contract at the Hilton last October, and have been fighting by our side to win justice at the Claremont. Now we are
uniting the struggle of over 1000 HERE Local 2850 Union members from the Claremont, the Holiday Inn-Bay Bridge, the Holiday Inn-Oakland, and the Oakland City Center Marriott who have been fighting for a new contract since LAST JULY! Hundreds of these workers have been without a contract for months and these companies are STILL offering ZERO cent, 2.5 cent, and 5 cent raises to workers who have been with them for years. Across the board, these hotels are proposing huge monthly co-payments up to approximately $300/month. This is a REPREHENSIBLE offer, and on August 1st we must stand together and march for workers rights.

I'll be there at the end of it, to see how many students are marching. (For a column concept.) See ya there.Email This Post!
