WORKER DEMONSTRATION APRIL 4th
Jacob Javitz Federal Building (26 Federal Plaza, Broadway side)
|
Dear members and supporters:
We've got an important event coming up and we want you to be a part of it. Please join us at a demonstration on Wednesday, April 4, 12 PM at 26 Federal Plaza (Jacob Javitz Federal Building, Broadway side).
We will be calling for justice: we want the federal government to act
now and prosecute the corrupt federal (USDOL and FBI) agents who threatened and locked up Yes Car workers who were standing up for their labor rights. These agents used workers' immigration status to divide workers who were uniting to enforce the labor law.
We are uniting with many community organizations and workers of different industries, neighborhoods, and nationalities to demand equal rights for all workers, and abolish today's slave law, Employer Sanctions Provision (IRCA)!

The Justice Will Be Served! Campaign (JWBS) organizes delivery, nail salon, restaurant, hotel, deli, and other service workers through out the tri-state area to challenge sweatshop conditions like forced overtime, low wages, tip stealing, and retaliation. While organizing workers for improvements in their workplaces, JWBS also unites workers across industries to demand enforcement of labor laws, the right to a 40-hour workweek, and the abolishment of the divisive Employer Sanctions Provision.
