To Latino and Latina Roundtable:
Below is an announcement of a delegation to El Super on May Day. A number of our members are involved in May Day actions but if some can attend after the actions, please do. I am going to propose that we have an LRT delegation at the end of May.
DELEGATIONS:
1. As we discussed, our first delegation will be May Day, Friday, May 1, 2015 3:00 PM, at El Super 960 Arrow Highway, Covina, CA 91722 (Flyer attached).
- The delegation will be led by Senator Ed Hernandez.
- Please let me know if other elected officials, executive directors of orgs, clergy or student leaders will join the May Day delegation.
- We are asking if you join this delegation bring a copy of your letter, on your letterhead, addressed to Carlos A. Smith President/CEO of El Super (attached).
- We will deliver it to the store manager and encourage him to send a message to Mr. Smith to do the right thing.
2. If you cannot make the May Day delegation, we will schedule smaller delegations every Wednesday for the month of May.
- All delegations will be at the union store in Covina, 960 Arrow Highway, Covina, CA 91722.
- We ask you to have a contingency of at least 4 people from your organization
- Walk through the store and encourage the workers
- Deliver a copy of your letter to the store manager.
3. If you would like to do your own delegation to the Non-Union El Super nearest you.

- Remember the Covina store is our Union store in the area. If you go to a non-union the conversation should be about the boycott.
