DESCRIPTION:Following the Covid disruptions, we are seeing a new militancy among U.S. 
 workers, with an uptick of labor organizing and activity that has not been 
 seen in decades. President Biden was able to stop railway workers from 
 striking last December. Now union members are choosing more progressive 
 leadership. How can they assert themselves independently and throw off the 
 stranglehold by the Democratic Party?\n\nSpeakers include:\nLuna Osleger 
 – UAW* member, academic researcher at UC Santa Cruz and the shop steward 
 at her workplace\nYajaira Cuapio – UESF* organizer, the bargaining team 
 in their contract fight and a social worker at SFUSD for 9 years\nRamon 
 Patrick Blanco – IBT # 70*, a decades-long member of Teamsters for a 
 Democratic Union and (though no longer a UPS worker) played a major role in 
 preparing for a UPS Strike\n*Organizations listed for identification 
 purposes only.\n\nPlease help us celebrate our return to the Starry Plough 
 by ordering food and/or drinks. Please arrive early to place your order so 
 that you do not miss any of the presentations. An open discussion will 
 follow the presentations.\n\nWe will be accepting donations which will be 
 divided among the sponsoring organizations.\n\nThis event is sponsored by 
 the Alameda County Peace and Freedom Party, the Alameda County Green Party 
 and Bay Area System Change Not Climate Change.\n\nFor more information
