2007 - First Action Alert of the Year!

IT'S STILL ON!

The Goodyear Labor Dispute is over, but the solidarity lives on. A benefit has been in the planning for a couple months, and the Steelworkers decided to go on with the plans. So please come to eat some delicious Wobbly Kitchen spaghetti and celebrate with the victorious Goodyear strikers, who brought us a rare victory for the new year.

Saturday, January 13 @5pm
USW Local 1299
11424 W/ Jefferson Ave
River Rouge 48218
$10.00 donation requested.

The Kitchen is planning regular solidarity events this year. If you are interested in attending and you have ideas, please write me bigrafx - at - comcast.net and I'll pass them along.

The next event is tentatively scheduled for February 17 (location TBA) and will benefit the UAW strikers of Elkhart Indiana, makers of fine musical instruments, who have been out for several months. The new edition of Solidarity Magazine (http://www.uaw.org/solidarity/) will feature a story on Elkhart. What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to show your love for working men and women?!

If by chance you will have other plans that night, you can still contribute to these brave people by sending a donation to

Food 4 Strikers
58558 Ardmore Dr.
Elkhart, IN 46517

From USLAW website: “Workers of UAW Local 364 in Elkhart Indiana have been on strike for eight months at the Conn-Selmer's Vincent Bach musical instrument factory. Conn-Selmer is a subsidary of Steinway Inc. There are 230 workers on strike they ask us to call these numbers at let them no we support them and the story is getting out.”
