Non-union fast food workers at the Oakland Airport have been calling for justice on the job for over nine months. The Port of Oakland found that two worker leaders were FIRED in retaliation for speaking out – and that Jamba Juice and Subway weren’t following the Port living wage law.
We told the Port Commission last Thursday that this injustice cannot stand at the Oakland Airport. Next Wednesday we will raise our voices so that everyone in the airport knows how unfair Subway and Jamba Juice are.
We will also be joined by a special delegation of union activists from Tunisia and Morocco! You’ll definitely want to hear stories of their struggle and how we can work together for international solidarity.
In solidarity,
UNITE HERE! Local 2850
Recently hundreds of fast food workers participated in a wildcat strike in New York City to demand $15/dollars per hour. Now it looks like workers in Chicago are going for it as well. We need to Fight for Fifteen in Oakland!
Rampant gentrification and exploitation abounds in Oakland, with stores run by massively profitable corporations thriving off the labor of workers barely making minimum wage or more, but we know we can’t survive in this town on $8/hr. Bring this class tension to the forefront by fighting for a livable wage!
The May Day Fight for Fifteen assembly is planning for and publicizing a noise demo through downtown Oakland on May 1st aka May Day, the traditional holiday to commemorate workers’ struggles.
And, as we all know, whatever they do in New York, we can do better in Oakland.
This is a project of the Livable Wage Assembly, originally initiated by Occupy Oakland Labor Solidarity.

A group of gay activists has called a protest against the San Francisco Pride Committee’s rescinding of naming as a Grand Marshal openly gay whistleblower, Bradley Manning, a US Army soldier who was arrested in 2010 in Iraq on suspicion of having passed classified material to the website Wikileaks. Manning was charged with a number of offenses including communicating national defense information to an unauthorized source and aiding the enemy. The 25 year old’s trial is expected to begin in June 2013.
The action is being organized by gay peace and social justice activists Michael Petrelis, Tommi Avicolli Mecca, and Lisa Geduldig. “Our message to SF Pride is that they should make Manning a Grand Marshal of this year’s Pride March and Celebration because of his brave act of whistleblowing against the military industrial complex,” said Petrelis. “We are fed up with marriage and military concerns sucking the oxygen out of what used to be a queer movement and Pride March and Celebration about social justice for queers,” Petrelis added. Some don’t think Manning should be a Grand Marshal of the parade, albeit in absentia—that he doesn’t represent or further the causes of LGBT people. Co-organizer Geduldig points out, “He’s an antiwar hero, a whistleblower who is gay. He was lipsynching to Lady Gaga while downloading classified documents. It doesn’t get more gay than that.”
“We demand that BPD allow the release of the Coroner’s report and the police report of what happened that night.”
“The city leadership has allowed the police to function without accountability…”
Rally at 6:00 PM and speak out at 7:00 PM.
Last year Burger King made $117,000,000 in profits. Walgreens made $253,000,000.
Downtown Oakland workers deserve a raise!
Hundreds of fast food workers in NYC recently participated in a strike to demand $15/hr. It is time to bring the Fight for Fifteen campaign to Oakland.
With the cost of rent driven up by gentrification, plus childcare, healthcare and other bills, $8/hour is not enough to survive in Oakland. Mayor Jean Quan says Oakland is “rising” but the lowest paid workers, who are more likely to be people of color and women, are left behind.
$15/hr livable wage for all Oakland workers!
Rally, march and noise demo throughout downtown Oakland, exposing the practices of corporations who thrive off of low wage labor.
