DESCRIPTION:SOUTH BAY FIRST THURSDAYS (SBFT) presents:\n\nOVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID IN 
 THE SILICON VALLEY (YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE)\n\nWe've all experienced the 
 severe pressures of work: the looming, high-pressure deadlines, the lack of 
 respect for work by our managers, being expected to work late or through 
 the weekend just to "get the job done," the bitter taste of getting paid 
 too little for what it takes to survive in the Valley. Unless you're a 
 highly educated, highly skilled, upper income worker, there is little 
 upside to being a rat in the rat race. Yet what's it like being a rat in 
 the race when you do mostly invisible and unrespected work? Or when labor 
 is back-breaking instead of paper pushing? \n\nPlease join us to learn 
 about how the South Bay labor movement is helping working families in the 
 service sector fight for economic justice and how you and your job in 
 Corporate Cubicle Company can affect the implementation of progressive 
 labor policies. Labor activism in the Silicon Valley looks very different 
 then you think - our panelists will share real life stories about why and 
 how they got involved in the labor movement and what difference it's making 
 in all of our lives. Their stories about standing up and fighting for 
 respect will inspire you in the most unexpected ways.\n\nThursday, July 10, 
 2008\n7pm - 9pm - (Registration opens at 6:30pm)\nIronworkers Hall- South 
 Bay Labor Council\n2102 Almaden Road, Room 110\nSan Jose CA 95125\n\nTo 
 RSVP, please visit our Evite:
