Berkeley Bowl Update and Action this Sunday(10/12)...

Update... (Action info at bottom of email)

The Berkeley Bowl workers will be voting on October
30th on whether to unionize or not. Management will
be intensifying their anti-union campaign over the
next couple of weeks. They have already broken
numerous laws: including firing 2 pro-union workers,
spying on workers, threatening to close the store, and
interrogating workers about their stance on the union.
There have also been various attempts to bribe
workers to make them vote against the union, including
changing benefits packages and giving raises. Most
recently Berkeley Bowl has hired a human
resources/business partner with skills in union
avoidance and has told workers that they aren't to
talk to co-workers or customers about the union while
they are on the clock.

Action...

When: This Sunday October 12th from 2pm-6pm
Where: In front of Berkeley Bowl, 2020 Oregon St
Why: Worker's need your support and encouragement

We will be in front of the store from 2pm-6pm with
ballons and flyers to pass out information to
customers and allow them to share their support quite
visibly with Berkeley Bowl workers. Even if you can
only make it for a small amount of time, please stop
by and show your support for the workers in the midst
of their struggle.
