>Thousands of immigrant airport workers across the
country stand to lose
>their jobs because of a post-9/11 requirement that
mandates all pre-board
>screeners to be U.S. citizens. This anti-immigrant
requirement has nothing
>to do with -- and in fact will compromise -- travel
safety. At San
>Francisco Airport, more than 500 overwhelmingly
Filipino screeners are set
>to lose their jobs in the coming months -- unless we
act now. Numerous
>workers and activists have already been hard at work
in this struggle. At
>our January 28 meeting, we heard updates from union
and other activists,
>and resolved to support each others' work. Join us
at the next meeting to
>build wider support and plan for collective action.
>
>We stand in solidarity with and call on all Filipino
community, immigrant
>rights and labor activists -- and everyone disgusted
by the recent attacks
>on immigrants and workers -- to join us in this key
battle.
