DESCRIPTION:email received on Th\n\nWoodfin Picketing Saturday and Tuesday\n\nDear 
 Friends,\n\nThis year, Woodfin Hotel workers got a great Christmas present 
 - a temporary restraining order prohibiting the hotel from firing them over 
 the holidays. However, the fight's not over yet. The workers' jobs are 
 still in jeopardy in the long run, their work hours have been slashed to 
 accomodate the replacement workers hired last week, the company owes them 
 tens of thousands of dollars in back pay, and they still face heavy 
 workloads and disrespectful treatment on the job. We will be continuing the 
 boycott of the Woodfin Hotel until the company guarantees that workers will 
 not be fired because of Social Security no-matches or support for Measure 
 C. Please help us kick off a new year of worker justice at one or both of 
 these pickets:\n\n1. SATURDAY, DEC. 30, 7 AM to 11 AM: on workers' first 
 day back on the job after their suspension, help us welcome them back to 
 work and give the Woodfin a wake-up call!\n2. TUESDAY, JAN. 2, 3 PM to 7 
 PM.\n\nAlso, last night the Emeryville City Council unanimously approved an 
 emergency ordinance that would prohibit hotels from firing workers who have 
 submitted complaints under Measure C until the city has finished 
 investigating the complaints. Please contact the Council and thank them for 
 their critical support of Woodfin workers! Call 510 596-4376 to reach the 
 Council members' phone extensions, or email Dick Kassis 
 (rkassis@ci.emeryville.ca.us), Ken Bukowski 
 (kbukowski@ci.emeryville.ca.us), Ruth Atkin (ratkin@ci.emeryville.ca.us), 
 Nora Davis (ndavis@ci.emeryville.ca.us), and John Fricke 
 (jfricke@ci.emeryville.ca.us).\nThanks,\nSarah Norr\n
