SUMMARY:Palestinian Workers and Solidarity Work
DESCRIPTION:Workers Rights has no borders and the struggle and lives of Palestinian workers are the focus of this forum. Palestinian journalists have been targeted by Israeli snipers in increasing numbers. At the same time\, Palestinian workers face brutal slave-like discriminatory conditions\, not only in the occupied lands\, but also inside the state of Israel. Unions throughout the world have supported an end to the occupation of the Palestinian lands and equal rights for all. This forum will directly report on the struggles of Palestinian workers and how U.S. workers can build solidarity with our brothers and sisters in their struggle for labor and human rights.\nSponsored by United Public Workers For Action

SUMMARY:Play : Fight for 52¢ - Written and Performed by Howard Petrick - 70 min.
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco actor and writer Howard Petrick takes a look at the 1934 Minneapolis general strike through the eyes of one of its leaders\, V.R. Dunne. The Minneapolis Teamster General Strike was one of three successful strikes that year that built the rise of industrial unionism and labor rights. We learn Dunne’s story through his working class life in the depths of the 1930’s depression\, which led to his political development. It includes the violence that striking workers faced at the hands of police. He also describes how the use of a Women’s Auxiliary enabled the striking workers to succeed. He discusses the importance of cultural and worker solidarity\, which was a critical part in the victory of the general strike. Today\, as millions of workers are being marginalized\, these lessons continue to be relevant. Petrick\, through his art\, makes them come alive. \nhttps://howardpetrick.com \n\nCLOSING PARTY will follow performance.\nBring a contribution of food\, beverage for potluck\, or instrument for the open mic.
