We have buses leaving Local 1109 on Utica Ave at 6:30 am. We will also have a bus on Staten Island at Local 1102 leaving at 7 am. Please call the union office and give your name.
Thousands of CWA & IBEW workers will be gathering with Working people from across the Northeast. We will all be joining the national AFL-CIO, national Building and Construction Trades Department, and all our union brothers and sisters, community partners and political allies on Saturday, August 11, 2012 in Philadelphia to fight for the survival of America’s middle class and an economy that works for the 99%.
Organized labor built the middle class in our country and is now leading the charge to preserve it. Thousands upon thousands of union members, students, social activists, and community partners from across the country will converge in Philadelphia to send a message that the middle class cannot survive in an economy that only benefits the 1%. We will send a message that America is not a plutocracy to be governed by the ultra wealthy, but a democracy which bestows power to its people and equal opportunity to all. Reclaiming our democracy only works when we all participate. So mark your calendars for this rally and be there for yourselves, your family, and our country’s future.

Time: 10 AM – 4:00 p.m.
