Another Flying Picket?
Last Sunday's (10/10) Working Class Solidarity Flying Picket was a blast. Better yet, we got lots of thanks from picketing workers for our solidarity.
People I saw at today's (10/12) rally for the hotel workers at Union Square were eager to trying the Flying Picket again. Some of us thought maybe we could try to get a contingent to march downtown after this Friday's (10/15) grocery workers' rally at the Church and Market Safeway--which begins at 4:00 PM.
We thought we could converge again at Union Square around 7:00 PM, at the corner of Geary and Powell. Then we could try to visit some of the hotels we didn't get to last time, as well as revisit ones we were at on Sunday.
If we aren't able to mobilize folks on Friday, we definitely thought we'd have the Flying Picket again this Sunday (10/17) at 7:00 PM. Try to get the word out to friends and comrades. And bring more muscial instruments/noise makers--the drum on Sunday was great. Also bring your own signs and/or art supplies to make signs. .
Please post any suggestions, comments or other ideas.

Remember, striking ain't the only kind of action you can take. There's loads of others. Go Slows, Work-to-Rule, Mass Phone-in-Sick days etc are all other really good ways of hitting the bosses. That said, mainstream unions probably won't back you so it might be risky.
Good luck with your strike,

these hotels will hide you short term/ maybe long! if you look decent and show up for work. this is going to be a gold mind for all us unemployed high-tech workers. we need some fast money for rent food and to get us through to the next job

I have visions of them cleaning toilets and handling stained sheets! Sweet!
But it's too bad scabs starve the families of real working people.
