SUNDAY 7/14 ALL DAY
MOBILIZATIONS AT 7 AM, NOON, 5 PM
OAKLAND AIRPORT TERMINAL 2
“My bosses cut my hours to punish me for trying to form a union. They fired my co-worker for organizing, and they still haven’t brought her back to work. I’m tired of waiting for justice – I’m ready to fight!” said Oakland Airport Subway cashier Hayat Selmani.
A year ago, airport fast food workers launched a public campaign for better jobs – including a fair process to decide whether to form a union. Some workers have faced serious retaliation: the National Labor Relations Board just charged two OAK restaurants with breaking labor laws and firing workers who spoke out. And the Port of Oakland found that these same employers violated the living wage and fired workers who complained about it. But so far, the employers haven’t faced real consequences.
Now the workers are taking action to protest their bosses’ unfair labor practices. On Sunday, July 14, the workers will strike all day, with mobilizations at Oakland Airport Terminal 2 at 7 am, noon, and 5 pm.
It takes a lot of courage for non-union, low-wage workers to go on strike – especially when their co-workers have been fired for organizing. The workers are ready, but they need your support! Please join us on the 14th and support these courageous worker leaders!
