Friday, 30 November 2007

Throughout the week of Dec. 10, International Human Rights Day, Orange County workers will take part in actions to  highlighting the need to restore workers' freedom form unions.

Orange County is home to some of the largest anti-union employeers. Irvine based Prudential Overall is one example. Hundreds of Prudential Overall Supply workers are on strike now across several company facilities due to unfair labor practice charges for threats, coercion and intimidation.

Orange based St. Joseph Health System is using anti-union practices to prevent its workers. SJHS has employed a variety of coercive tactics against the employees in its hospitals. Through thes practices, SJHS has broken federal labor law. A former suprevisor at one SJHS hospital reports that managers conspired to spy and fire an employee because of her union support. 

Join health providers and laundry workers as we mark International Human Rights Day by demanding worker rights.
