ACTION ALERT: PHONE ZAP TO SUPPORT LOCKED OUT IWW WORKERS

In support of locked out fellow workers in IU650 at Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. in Seattle, we are calling on all Wobblies and friends to participate in a phone zap of GCI’s headquarters! We would like folks to call between 9am and 5pm East Coast time, 6am-2pm West Coast.

The company though, is the very model of exploitation under capitalism, with brutal turnover, low wages and benefits, and blatant union busting. IU650 has waged a formidable fight since going public in February, winning several initial demands and spreading the union to New Orleans.

We would like our supporters to call GCI’s headquarters and demand that they end the lockout and honor the contract. ... See more

Here is an article detailing their struggle: https://www.arlnow.com/2018/05/30/workers-at-army-national-guard-center-go-on-strike-demand-ability-to-unionize/ ... See more

“Disclosures show that the Save Our Tips campaign is managed in part by Lincoln Strategy Group, a company that did $600,000 worth of work in 2016 canvassing for the Trump presidential campaign. Lincoln Strategy Group is a firm co-founded and currently managed by Nathan Sproul, a GOP consultant and former executive director of the Arizona Christian Coalition, who has been caught up in scandals for well over a decade.” ...

By cloaking its opposition to the wage increase in lefty rhetoric, “Save Our Tips” hopes it can trick D.C. voters into taking down a progressive policy.
