Woodfin Workers FIRED!!!

Emergency Action Thursday May 3rd, 5pm

We are deeply distraught to announce that the Woodfin Suites Hotel in Emeryville fired 11 workers todayin apparent retaliation for blowing the whistle on the hotel's violation of Emeryville's living wage ordinance. These firings are a malicious attack not just on hard-working housekeepers and their families, but also on our community's values of immigrant workers' rights, democracy, and justice.

We are writing to ask you to stand beside Woodfin workers as they fight for reinstatement. The firings come after 7 months of intense, sustained protests by workers, residents, faith leaders, and immigrant rights advocates. But as the chant goes, "The Woodfin ain't seen nothin' yet." We will not abandon the workers, but rather demand accountability from the Woodfin and the city council. We ask you to join us in sending a strong and immediate message to the hotel that the terminations are unethical, and to the city that they must hold the Woodfin responsible and defend the workers' jobs.

May 1st is International Worker’s Day, and there will be a march in San Francisco for immigrant rights. This was a lot of fun last year, and with the recent raids and attacks on immigrant communities all over the country and here in the Bay Area, this is an important march.

The Movement for Unconditional Amnesty is organizing this event.

People will gather at Dolores Park at 12:00 noon for a rally, and march to Civic Center starting at 1:00.
