There Is No Compassionate Corporatism.

 

     An appeal for solidarity from Labour Start:

What kind of employer locks out 150 of its workers three days before Thanksgiving? 
      FirstEnergy Corp., one of the largest energy companies in the USA, did just that to 150 of its workers in Pennsylvania. Their union, working together with their global union federations, has today issued a call for a massive online protest campaign.

Thanks very much -- and please spread the word.

Employers' Loyalty, Move The Plant To Cheaper Wages.

     An Appeal for solidarity from Labour Start:

 

     The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) is one of the unions that can always be counted upon when we need international solidarity.  

    As the head of the UCLA Labor Center put it, "The UE has been at the forefront of building international labour solidarity, especially worker to worker relationships."

 

Today, the UE is asking for our help.

 

     They're fighting the decision by General Electric to move nearly a thousand good union jobs from a factory in Pennsylvania to a non-union plant in the South where workers earn 40% less.

Please take a minute and click here to send a message to General Electric asking them to keep good union jobs in Erie.

 

     And then forward on this message to your friends, family and fellow union members asking them to do the same.

    We've been able to count on the support of the UE for so many of our campaigns in the past.

 

Now let's show them that we appreciate all they've done, and help them win this fight.

 

Because this is our fight too.

 

Solidarity forever!
