One year on strike (Tell the Fallucca Brothers: Meet with Workers)

[Omaha Steve]

From e-mail.

This Saturday marks one year since we went on strike. We’ve picketed, traveled across the country to Seattle to meet with executives at Costco, and rallied with students across Wisconsin who’ve risked arrest to support our campaign for justice at Palermo’s.

But in all that time, not once have the owners of Palermo’s Pizza met with us. So, this Saturday, we’re taking our message right to the doorstep of Angelo Fallucca, one of the two brothers who own Palermo’s.

We’re going to march 18 miles from Milwaukee to the home of Angelo Fallucca to demand he and his brother finally sit down with us.

Send a message to the Fallucca brothers and tell them it’s past time to meet with workers and address their demands for justice at Palermo’s.

Our march couldn’t come at a more important time.

News broke recently that the Palermo’s factory has been in “serious” violation of several health and safety rules. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration also criticized Palermo’s management for refusing to fully disclose information about injuries at the factory to workers as required by law..

And workers still are getting hurt on the job. Last month, a worker lost three fingers in a machinery accident at the facility.

We’ve been raising these concerns even before we went on strike, but the Falluccas ignored us. It’s time they finally listen, before more workers get hurt.

Tell the Fallucca brothers to meet with striking workers and address their concerns: http://act.aflcio.org/c/18/p/dia/action3/common/public/index.sjs?action_KEY=6554
