Pictures From Berkeley Bowl Walkout
On Friday Sept 19th, Berkeley Bowl fired produce worker Arturo Perez. Arturo had worked as Berkeley Bowl for close to two years, and had been a very active and vocal leader in the unionization effort. Perez is the second worker that Berkeley Bowl has fired for Union organizing. On Sept 21st at 5PM dozens of Berkeley Bowl workers staged a 15 min walkout in protest. Union busting can not be allowed in a progressive city like Berkeley.

If you were working on this campaign with us, I would open my ears to your advice. You have not been however, so I will simply take your posting as encouragement. At least you are interested.
