Hi Jose, Enough. This country has accepted our labor. Today, it must accept our humanity. This May Day, join us on Radio Jornalera to celebrate our creative resistance to trumpism and to champion all workers, everywhere. Today, it is clear that immigrant workers – in every industry and state – are essential parts of our communities, and of our economy. We don’t just contribute, we subsidize US industries, with our labor, with our poverty, with our health, with our lives. While millions are safe at home, we are out working. So on May 1 this year, we say, basta. If you take our labor, you must accept our right to emergency aid, to health, to safe workplaces, and to legal personhood. That means relief from COVID-19. That means amnesty. No excuses. On May Day, our own Radio Jornalera will provide live coverage all day of the many actions taking place to champion #WorkerMigrantJustice with voices from across borders, with the irresistible music, arts, and actions. Throughout the day, we will be joined by the Essential and Excluded Caravans taking place across the US, by Los Jornaleros del Norte, and be hosting live discussions with special guests and workers rights leaders from Chile, Cuba, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico. |

Tune in to Radio Jornalera, and join us demanding justice for all essential and excluded workers. Because the greatest threat to trumpism is the clarity and conviction of our dignity and human rights. On May Day, that is the conviction we will build on, from the bottom up. Pablo Alvarado Co-Executive Director, NDLON |

Consider making a contribution and join a movement of people who stand with and fight for some of the most vulnerable members of our society. |

Emergency Community Briefing
The contract covering nearly 50,000 grocery workers expired in March, and the union has been attempting to negotiate a new deal with Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons. Grocery workers across Southern California, including UFCW 1428 voted overwhelmingly to reject the employers insulting offer and authorized a strike if contract negotiations break down.
We cannot do this without you. Please join us for an Emergency Community Briefing to bring you up to date. RSVP to Sylvia1428@msn.com

BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
The contract covering nearly 50,000 grocery workers expired in March, and the union has been attempting to negotiate a new deal with the Kroger Corporation (owner of Ralphs) and Cerberus Capital (owner of Safeway, Vons, Pavilions, and Albertsons). Grocery workers across Southern California, including UFCW 1428 voted overwhelmingly to reject the employers insulting offer and authorized a strike if contract negotiations break down.
We cannot do this without you. Please join us for an Emergency Community Briefing to bring you up to date. RSVP BY RESPONDING TO THIS EMAIL

“We don’t want to strike, we understand the impact on consumers, our communities, and our members,” said Rick Icaza, president of the largest local union representing grocery workers, UFCW Local 770. “But the out-of-state corporations and hedge funds controlling the stores may leave us no choice. Despite profits of over a half billion dollars, they are still demanding our workers give up retirement and health care security and forgo raises for two years. That’s not fair, and it’s not right.”
“Grocery workers are the front line for working class families in Southern California,” said John Grant, Secretary Treasurer of Local 770. “These corporations know that if they can take away our hard fought and modest retirement and health care security in the bright light of day, they will have no trouble doing the same to every other working family in California. We have a responsibility not just to our members and other grocery workers, but to every family fighting to make ends meet.”

También aprovechamos para aprender nuestra historia y vincular las luchas históricas con las actuales. Se le hace la cordial invitación a cada uno y una de ustedes!
#upcomingevents #markyourcalendars every year we celebrate#fiestaspatrias at the #PEOC #daylabor center, with food, music, and community. Since #Mexico, #Guatemala, #ElSalvador, #Nicaragua,#CostaRica, and #Honduras all share the same #independenceday, it is a good opportunity to build bridges between the #Mexican and#CentralAmerican communities, as well as the #Chicanx and u.s.-born communities. And since #independence was (and is) a protracted#struggle, it gives us a chance to root ourselves in our history and connect to our current struggles.
