Support October 24, 2009 UCB Assembly To Save California Public Education : Indybay:
"On October 24, 2009 at UCB Pauley Ballroom from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM there will be a state wide Assembly of education unions, students and community supporters. There will also be other public workers in the state attending this historic meeting that is a direct result of the successful UCB strike and rally of over 5,000 workers, students and community supporters. A key issue that came out again and again at this action was the need to fight privatization of the university. This of course is not just an issue in education for all public workers in California and nationally.
At the upcoming assembly there will be discussion on these issues as well as developing a program for a state wide strike action against the attacks on education and all public workers. The United Public Workers For Action http://www.upwa.info fully supports this assembly and urges all public workers in California to attend and work to organize conjunction action by their membership. The need for assemblies of workers at all work locations that link all union members and rank and file workers together is vital if we are going to mount an effective fightback. It has been supported by all unions on the UC campus, the CFA, CFT and many other union locals."
