UAW Rally 10/23/19

Weekly Rally with UAW Strikers! The UAW Strike isn’t over yet. A tentative agreement has been passed down to the membership. Unfortunately, this deal offers no future product program for Rochester. Without new identified work, the plant will be at risk of closure. There is no path identified for members of Local 1097 to reach parity in pay and benefits with the rest of GM. The notion of equal pay for equal work has been central to the strike from the beginning. There has not yet been a vote on the agreement, but right now there is vocal opposition in the Local. While the process for deciding on this contract takes place, we need to continue to show our full support for the brave women and men of UAW Local 1097 who have now been on strike for 6 weeks! We will continue to rally alongside the local UAW members each Wednesday evening until the strike is over and they have won! WHAT: Weekly rally in Support of Striking UAW Workers WHERE: General Motors Plant, on Driving Park near Mt. Read Blvd. (note new location) WHEN: Wednesday, October 23rd, 6pm Spread the word on facebook! Parking is available at: Federation of Social Workers, 740 Driving Park Ave, Rochester, NY 14613 UA Local 13, 1850 Mt Read Blvd North Srv Rd, Rochester, NY 14615
