A labor event took place at the First Unitarian Church in Oakland on December 6th, as a way of observing International Human Rights Day. Beginning at 5:30pm, workers from East Bay organizing drives spoke about how their rights have been violated. At 6:45, there was a march to the Oakland City Council in support of Comcast workers. The council is considering an ordinance to protect workers' rights. Despite protections in U.S. labor law and the International Declaration of Human Rights, workers organizing on the job are routinely intimidated, harassed, and fired.
