A call for all activists to provide aid to the strikers

by ! Monday, Oct. 13, 2003 at 4:00 PM

We should stand in solidarity with the union and the strikers.
They are on the front lines here on the home front fighting for things we have been saying like, Healthcare not Warfare.

The anti-war movement needs to support the strike and show people the link between the waste of war and the war on the working class here.

Go to where the strike is: ask them how to help and aid them in anyway you can. Help them keep the shoppers and the scabs from crossing their picket lines.

This is what we have been marching in the streets about all this year.
The strike and the boycott are our most powerful tools for the social change that we are fighting for.

ANSWER, NION and all the other groups talk about this all the time here's a chance for them to put their bodies where their mouth is.

If the strikers lose we all lose. Your healthcare could be next.

An injustice to one is an injustice to all.

I'm giving my support.

by Merry Hatebear Monday, Oct. 13, 2003 at 4:17 PM

Today I went to the local Vons picket line and got information sheets from the workers there. I told them that I hope they can get things to work out and that the plans for their helath care is outrageous. I am on a very friendly level with these grocery workers. I've known many of them for years from shopping at their store and they are some great people.

Anyway, I posted all of the information they gave me on my internet journal and I have urged all friends and family to NOT cross their picket lines.

I care for their cause too.

by Support our Workers Monday, Oct. 13, 2003 at 4:51 PM

I went to Trader Joe's and bought refreshments and snacks for the 20 Ralph's employees picketing in front of the store. Trader Joe's treats their employees decently (a relative works for them).
Everybody was courteous. It is important to inform the public that these people are not asking for extra money or perks as the corporate media wants you to believe. They are merely fighting for their existing benefits. Wouldn't you do the same thing?

ANSWER takes the Lead, again, Thank you

by ! Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 11:11 AM

Main thanks to all the good people at ANSWER for their response to this call. see the link:

If all the people who got out in the streets on F15 to march for peace and justice were to stand in solidarity with the strikers and help them hold their line their victory would be immediate.
This would send a powerful message to the corporations and Wall Street that the working people of this nation are not just another commodity to be bought and sold, but humans beings. Human beings with the strength and ability to fight back.

Mean people

by Sarah Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 12:17 PM

I went shopping at Vons today, like I have for the past seven years, and a bunch of thugs called me names as I walked into the store. Like 90% of working Americans with healthcare benefits, I have to pay for a portion of my monthly premium. Screw those greedy thugs and their looting unions.

It is essential that grocery workers win.

by George Brookfield Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 2:29 PM

You are right. Recently the Long Beach City Manager, Jerry Miller, ranted to City employees that they have to pay for their own health insurance from now on because that is what workers in the private sector do. The fact that supermarket workers are striking all over Long Beach and picketing in defense of their health care coverage gives the lie to that. A victory for these workers will be a victory for City employees and all other workers. They have to win. A defeat will not only be a tragedy for them but a body blow against workers in general in southern California. The plans of Miller and his private sector counterparts have to be smashed.

Police should bust heads of striking workers

by Art Lukens Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 at 7:09 PM

I fully support the police and ask them to crack these picket walking loserss upside the head with their batons.

That's right mace him and crack their skulls. If they don't want to work, fire them, refuse them aid and let them either get with the program or become homeless, banned for life from obtaining employment anywhere in the USA

Hell, shoot a couple of the phuckers, what do I care. Half of them are all homos and queers anyway. what kind of self respecting man works in a supermarket... homos and qweers.

Come on LAPD I wanna see some brain matter fly!

In support of the stirker's

by Rob Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 2:49 PM

Remember the history of Mayday. Were it was the solidarty of the Union workers and the anarchist that sturggled together that gotten them to achive their goals.

Despite some of us are againsts civilization. we are still at the stage were we need to organize the committee, empower the people so they don't feel powerless against the corporations and the governments. so we can start making the transtion to being depend on are selves and earth instead of the social institutions and the industrys. this struggle for workers rights is not only about the issues that there fighting for but about the empowerment of the people. For witch the people are the workers.

It's the front lines of the picket lines were we make that frist step to free are selves from the enslavement of are oppress and the chains of civilzation.

Grocery Scum

by MRC Friday, Oct. 17, 2003 at 2:58 PM

If keeping their benefits intack means that I have to pay one penny more when I go to the grocery store, it's not worth it. Hopefully the day is coming when we can line these second-class people up and kill them on the spot. It'll be a lesson to others not to cross the ruling class.
