Come Hear Labor Union Activists
from Five Latin American Countries
During the last two weeks in March a group of trade unionists from
five Latin American countries will be touring the U.S. When they speak
in Philadelphia March 19 we will have a rare opportunity to learn about the
struggles our sisters and brothers to the south of us are engaged in.
Although their wages are much, much lower than our in many ways their
issues are the same: the bosses want to cut their wages, eliminate their
jobs, and bust their unions. In some countries union people have been
beaten, tortured, fired and murdered.
This exchange of stories, ideas and working class solidarity between
workers of the Americas is needed in today’s global economy. Please
spread the word in your unions and to your religious and community
groups about this important gathering.
Speakers will represent unions in Peru, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia,
and possible Cuba.
This event will take place at Local 668 SEIU
at 1924 Spring Garden Street.
