9/5 SFO Rally/Action For NWA-AMFA Mechanics-Stop Union Busting

by Airport Workers Strike Support Committee
Northern California workers and trade unionists will be rallying for NWA-AMFA mechanics who are
striking this union busting airline. The rally will be held on Labor Day Monday September 5, 2005 at
11:00 AM at SFO Terminal 2. You can get to airport by BART.

LABOR DAY RALLY
FOR NORTHWEST AIRLINES
STRIKERS

Represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association
Sponsored by: AMFA Local 9 and the Airport Workers Strike Support Committee

Show Your Support, Commitment & Solidarity With Striking
Mechanics, Cleaners & Custodians At Northwest Airlines

Northwest Airlines is trying to bust our union.

If Northwest is successful their tactics will be used against other unions
at other
airlines and in other industries. Management has hired over 1,900 scabs to
do the
strikers' work. Northwest Airlines CEO Doug Steenland has been quoted recently,
"We will never go back to the way it was."

Five thousand Northwest members are affected nationwide. We are calling on
all Bay
Area labor members, activists and leaders to get behind the strikers and
show true
commitment, support and solidarity.

September 5th, 2005
SFO International Airport, Terminal 2 (the old International Terminal)
Rally will begin at 1100 and end at around 1300

HOW TO GET THERE: BART to SFO is the best bet and the least expensive. Get
off at the Airport and proceed to the
free Air Train. Get off at Terminal 2 and proceed to the departure level.
The Rally point is outside in front of the Old
International Terminal, between Terminals 1 and 3.

All Labor Unions regardless of affiliation are asked to attend. If you want
to speak on your issue as well as ours,
please call Local 9 President Joseph Prisco at (650) 826-1405 to get on the
speakers list.

NOW is the time to turn back Union Busting and Scab Herding by Northwest
Airlines
Come on out and show your support and commitment for the front line fight
in this war on workers
