We had a about 10 Gemers out plus I saw other teachers who came out due to our emails. This worker support needs to be broadcast since we promote active-support and not just
the words and $$$ (not to negate importance of this) that the UFT leaderships may provide.
IN '07, the UFT and AFT were suppose to send $$$ to striking Puerto Rico - Utuado teachers as per 2 different resolutions but never did. Those resolutions get buried under the RW desk and into the nearby shredder.

Photos from a Bronx Labor Rally: Boycott Stella D'Oro Now!

I live in a Bronx neighborhood that is known for cookies. For my entire life I've been enjoying the sweet smell of Union Made Stella D'Oro cookies and biscuits. After the long cold winter that Brynwood Partners forced on the workers, those cookies don't smell so sweet anymore.
The owners are seeking to slash wages by as much as 25%, do away with Saturday overtime and impose a new, crushing, 20% employee contribution to worker health care benefits. They also are insisting on eliminating four holidays, one week of vacation, and all 12 paid sick days.
Yesterday there was a Solidarity rally in support of the workers who have been locked out of their jobs for the past ten months!
Too see pictures of this rally of about 1,000
