Planning Working Group meeting to set up Gatherings to Re-imagine the OO GA
The working class is facing an unprecedented assault from employers and the state. We must
build solidarity in collective struggle. In this spirit we invite all workers – paid and unpaid,
employed and unemployed, union and nonunion, full-time and precarious – to join a
Worker’s Assembly. We will communicate across sectors – from city workers to the private sector,
from domestic and service work to industrial labor – and begin to develop common struggles.
Sponsored by the Occupy Oakland Labor Solidarity Committee
Free Lunch provided.
