“From the folks who brought you the West Coast Port Shutdown.”
The OO Labor Solidarity Committee meets weekly, with every other meeting being held at Oscar Grant Plaza weather permitting. This week’s meeting will be at Francesco’s Restaurant, 8520 Pardee Dr, off Hegenberger near the Airport, across from the ILWU hall.
At 6:30 we will be listening to a presentation by someone from the Chicago Teachers’ Union. Here is the blurb:
This Thursday, August 23rd, you will have the opportunity to hear a skype presentation from Jim Cavallero of the Chicago Teachers Union. Jim is a high school teacher in Chicago, who is a union district supervisor working with a group of CTU delegates, a member of the 30 person rank&file bargaining team, and an activist in CORE (the grassroots caucus which has provided much of the current militant union leadership and is active with community mobilizations). He will discuss the CTU organizing model linked to rank&file activati including the involvement of the rank & file in the contract struggle.
The key questions around membership involvement in the union, the fights against school closures and mayoral control, resisting the Rahm/Arnie/Barack deforms and building labor-community unity are issues all too familiar to the struggles in Oakland and the Bay Area. The Chicago contract fight is one with national implications.
We invite all OEA members, other union and labor solidarity activists, and anyone involved in the battle to preserve and expand public education to come on Thursday. It is all part of ONE BIG STRUGGLE. Please be there to show solidarity with the CTU and learnfrom their experiences.
After the presentation the Labor Solidarity Committee will have an abbreviated meeting.
Topics may include discussion about the OOLSC’s next actions, the OO Occupy Everywhere Conference, support for organizing efforts by UNITE HERE at the Oakland Airport, the OO General Assembly, and other topics as they may arise.

The web committee (such as it is) is meeting on Thursday, September 6th at 6PM at the Victor Martinez Biblioteca Popular at 1449 Miller Avenue at E. 15th in Oakland. At the start of the meeting we will spend a few minutes helping committee delegates figure out how to post articles to our web site, which is an underutilized resource, so folks who are interested in posting might show up. Bring a laptop if you have one handy, but we have a few netbooks there for the kids, slow, Linux, but they work and should be adequate.
