60 Assi Workers were locked out today after reporting to work despite being suspended.

BEGIN THE ASSI BOYCOTT WITH US TODAY!!!
At 6am today, the 60 workers placed on "Leave of Absence" entered Assi & began work as usual. Even though, their time cards were not there, workers courageously continued to work despite aggressive pressure from management, security & LAPD. 2 HOURS LATER, the workers were kicked out by the management & LAPD.
Assi rejected their chance to reinstate their workers & not look like such assholes BUT in true Assi Management style, they took all the cheap & dirty shots that they could.
THANKS TO ALL WHO STAYED WITH US UNTIL THE LAST 4 WORKERS LEFT ASSI LAST NIGHT !!
It really encouraged & created more bravery in the workers today!
Today, at 11:00am a BOYCOTT of ASSI will be announced in a press conference.
Workers will picket from 12pm until 7:30pm TODAY.
We are asking SUPPORTERS to come out to PICKET with the workers
at 6:30PM, today August 1
ASSI ESCUCHA! ESTAMOS EN LA LUCHA!
BOYCOTT ASSI !
