 conditions;\n\nWHEREAS solidarity on the job is how working people assert 
 our fundamental and inalienable right to freedom of association;\n\nWHEREAS

 spreading their assaults from Arizona and Wisconsin to states around the 
 country;\n\nWHEREAS unchecked corporate power in the United States has 
 robbed working families of economic security and peace of mind;\n\nWHEREAS 
 isolated efforts at reform have failed to stem the growing tide of 
 corporate power and the harm it causes to hard-working men and women across 
 the nation;\n\nWHEREAS the most powerful tool working people possess to 
 improve our wages and working conditions and defend our dignity against 
 attack is a General Strike of all workers;\n\nWHEREAS May 1st is 
 International Workers Day, a day honoring the remarkable struggles and 
 sacrifices of working people around the world;\n\nWHEREAS a call is growing 
 for a national mass action on May 1st, 2011 under the banner of "A Day 
 Without Workers" including no work, shopping, or school-related activities 
 on May Day;\n\nTHEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the San Francisco Labor

 right of affiliates to engage in work stoppages, sick-outs, and any other 
 solidarity actions on May Day;\n\nBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the San
