Support Organized Labor and Picket Alcatraz Cruises and Macy's This Friday!

by Gurley
We cannot allow these continual attacks on labor to continue if we are to survive. We must teach everyone that
picketlines mean don't cross!
Friday November 24

Join us at the:

Hornblower Picket at Pier 33
8:30am-12:00pm
The displaced IBU/ILWU and MM&P Alcatraz ferry workers and their allies will be out in
force again this busy holiday weekend to keep the pressure on Hornblower's Alcatraz
Cruises.

Then go to the:

Labor Picket Line at Macy's Union Square
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Join the Labor Picket Line for Op.Engineers No. 39 at Macy's Union Square and the 51 other
Macy's in Northern California & Reno. Macy's Union Square should be the biggest
picketline; other stores also have pickets.

Macy's last contract offer to the Operating Engineers, the folks who maintain the lights,
heat and other physical fixtures, was less than HALF of the current cost of living per
the US Dept of Labor. Meanwhile, Macy's sales are $17.813 Billion, a 39% increase over
last year. Macy's is one of the most financially profitable department stores in the US.
Join the picket line. Bring your family. Bring union banners. We cannot allow these
continual attacks on labor to continue if we are to survive. We must teach everyone that
picketlines mean don't cross!
