If you believe that a revitalized labor movement must be part of any “change” in our future, come to our March Program.

Our panel consists of:

• Earl Gilman, SFGP member, former chapter president of SEIU Local 535, Labor Council delegate, and involved with the Liverpool Dockers and Chilean Bank Workers Union. He will offer a worldwide overview of labor, including NAFTA;

• Kay McVay, past president of The California Nurses Association, will speak on positive changes in the CNA, which is deeply involved in the struggle for universal single payer health care;

• Denis Mosgofian, past president Local 4-N of the Graphic Communications Conference (GCC) of the Teamsters Union and chair of the SF Labor Council's Economic Crisis Committee, will talk about labor and the current economic crisis; and

• Michael Rubin from SEIU Member Activists for Reform Today (S.M.A.R.T.), the workers’ organization formed to oppose SEIU’s undemocratic tactics, will discuss the urgent need for rank-and-file members to take back their union.

This should be a terrific meeting. Please join us.

Workers at Chicago's Republic Windows & Door electrified the nation, occupying their
factory after hearing they were being laid off without even vacation or sick leave, and the factory was planning to move to a non-union location out of state. Read more from the SF Bayview, and the SF Gray Panthers Blog.
