Tribunal Hearing/Speak-out At Senator Feinstein’s Mansio
Workers To Testify About
Illegal Firings For Union Organizing
May 23 (Saturday), 2009
11:00 AM
At: Feinstein’s San Francisco Mansion
2460 Lyon/Vallejo,
San Francisco, CA 94123-4612
The Labor movement which has given Democratic senator Feinstein millions of campaign contributions and supported her every election since she became Senator have now been told by her that the Employee Free Choice Act is bad since it would “drive up the operating costs of business”. She and her stock manipulator and union busting husband Richard Blum should know. Blum who is also chair of the UC Board of Regents is involved in cutting wages of UC workers and privatizing the state institution so only the rich can attend.
It is time that the people of San Francisco and the country be educated about the 12,000 workers who are fired every year for trying to organize a union and this hearing will be held at her $16 million dollar mansion. Please bring your banners and signs to let Feinstein know about the real costs of illegal firings for union activity and why she is more interested in protecting the profits of the corporations than the human and democrat rights of workers.
Feinstein has supported NAFTA and all anti labor trade agreements. She also supported the use of the Taft-Hartley action against ILWU longshore workers in 2002 during their contract negotiations.
“ Feinstein, a past sponsor of the act, cited the flailing economy as a reason; other critics of the bill have said it would drive up operating costs for businesses at a perilous time.”
