Greetings,
On Wednesday, December 10, International Human Rights Day, hundreds of AFSCME members will join a crowd of 1,000 people to rally in support of workers' rights -- because workers' rights are human rights.
Join us!
We'll be demanding that our congressmembers support the
Employee Free Choice Act. This legislation would ensure that when
a majority of employees in a workplace decide to form a union,
they can do so without the obstacles many employers use to block
their workers’ free choice. Wal-Mart was targeted for the St. Louis protest because it has fiercely resisted workers’ efforts to organize as it has grown to be the nation's largest private sector employer, with its notoriously low wages and benefits. Our St. Louis-area action will be one of more than 50 events around the country to make sure elected officials know workers’ rights needs to be on the agenda in 2004. We're arranging for busses, vans and carpools to bring AFSCME members to the December 10 rally. Contact one of the AFSCME organizers below for further information.
