Borders Books Workers Strike\r\n<\/p>
\r\nFrom the Organizing Committee:
\r\nWorkers at Borders Books store #1 in Ann Arbor, MI went on strike this past Saturday, November 8 at 9:00 AM. We do not take this step lightly. By striking, we hope to convince Borders Management to negotiate with us in good faith so we can reach a fair contract and return to our jobs. \r\n<\/p>
\r\nWe are writing to ask all of you to support us by\r\n<\/p>
\r\n1) boycotting all Borders, Waldenbooks, and Amazon.com;
\r\n2) volunteering to picket with workers in front of the store or organize solidarity pickets in your city;
\r\n3) joining Borders Readers United, our community support coalition (bru@riseup.net)
\r\n4) calling Borders Headquarters (734-477-1100) to tell them you support us;
\r\n5) coming to our Strike Fund Concert at the Ark in Ann Arbor on 11\/10\/03;
\r\n6) signing an online petition: Sign\r\n
\r\n7) forwarding this message to all your friends and colleagues! \r\n<\/p>
\r\nIn Solidarity and thanks,
