Homegrown Workers Union Informational Picket
This Wed Oct 4 at 3:30PM:
Picket at Mercer Island Homegrown
3016 78th Ave SE, Mercer Island, WA 98040

 

Come join Homegrown pickets this week!! Workers are picketing and talking to customers ahead of our bargaining to maximize our pressure on the company and win our contract.

Homegrown Workers have been bargaining since the beginning of the year and won many of their demands. But at the last bargaining session, the company has made it clear that they’re not going to respect what workers are fighting for.

 

  • Homegrown Workers are still fighting for:
  • Affordable Healthcare for Families
  • $20.50 Starting Pay
  • No Subcontracting Union Workers Jobs
  • To Keep their Contract Even if the Owner Decides to Sell the Company
 

Socialist Night School:

What is Capitalism?

This Thursday, Oct 5

6 - 7:30pm

Beacon Hill Branch Public Library 

2821 Beacon Ave S 

RSVP

 

The world is heading towards disaster under capitalism. In order to win power and best fight it, the working class – those who live by wage labor – must be equipped with socialist theory and a wide knowledge of society.

Seattle DSA’s Socialist Night School program aims to provide a solid foundation of socialist theory that can develop participants into confident socialists and inspire them into starting their own intellectual journeys. This session will help attendees learn the defining features of the capitalist mode of production through a discussion around the section ‘Bourgeois and Proletarians’ from the Communist Manifesto and an excerpt from Vivek Chibber’s Understanding Capitalism.

⏰ HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE LEFT?⏰

  • It depends on how long it takes the county to validate all of our signatures.
  • If we don't have enough, they'll give us a 10-day window to submit another batch of signatures.
  • Last time they took 18 days, but we suspect they might move a little bit faster this time around.
  • To hit our target of 4,000 raw signatures and provide cushion for rejected signatures, we need to collect another 1,700 signatures!

📝 SAVING SIGNATURES! 📝

  • Can't make it down to Renton? Want to help out remotely? We have a plan for you!
  • Signatures are invalidated because signatures don't match the voter file, signers weren't registered to vote, or a signer's signature expired!
  • We have a team of volunteers contacting these folks and working with them to save those signatures!
