🎸 Brewing Union Benefit Concert 🎸
|
Creature Comforts brewing workers in Athens are building their new union, the Brewing Union of Georgia, from the ground up! The company has hired an aggressive, expensive union-busting law firm and we need your help to protect workers and win the campaign!
ALL workers at Creature Comforts and beyond deserve a living wage, paid time off, a democratic voice at work, and transparent policies about hiring, promotion, discipline, and diversity.
So Join Us for a fundraising concert Saturday, March 18th 7 PM - 10PM at No Tomorrow in Underground Atlanta for a night of Music and Camaraderie! Tickets are $15 and Free For Brewery Workers proceeds will go to help pay for legal costs and the occasional organizing costs of what could be a prolonged campaign. RSVP for the show here.
If you are feeling extra generous please consider contributing what you can by donating below. BUG needs your help to win this David vs. Goliath battle!

Take the 2023 Labor Survey 📝

At the 2022 Atlanta DSA Chapter Convention, members decided to prioritize our Chapter's labor work. We are building the labor movement by showing up for workers on the picket line, building relationships with rank-and-file union members, and helping our own members organize their workplaces.
But to do this, we need your help! Fill out our 2023 Labor Survey to tell us about yourself, your workplace, and the ways you'd like to help get involved in our work.
