3/18: Come Walk the Lines for Worker Justice!
East Bay Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice
Come Walk the Lines for Worker Justice!
Dear ICWJ Friends:
I would like to invite you to support, encourage, and inspire low wage truckers in the Port of Oakland as they strive for economic justice. The campaign for clean air and better jobs for truckers has been in full swing for over two years now. During this time of struggle truckers have faced intimidation in the port when they seek to organize to win better wages, working conditions, and environmental protections.
Despite the long duration of this campaign, these courageous truckers continue to fight for their rights. Please come show that our support will not waver! The faith community will stand with truckers until victory is won. We will be at their side until the Port institutes a program to protect the truckers right to organize, improve health in the West Oakland community, and open doors for local hire. Your presence is vital. Many truckers attribute their staying the course because of the support they receive from you in the faith community.
Join us!
When: Wednesday, March 18, 2009
Time: 11:45am Sharp
Where: Middle Harbor Shoreline Park
Middle Harbor Road @ 7th St.
