I was personally involved with this campaign last summer and got to meet and talk with some of the workers in question. We then rallied at Crown headquarters and Crown gas stations all over the city of Baltimore, as well as Henry Rosenberg's neighborhood. Hopefully I'll be at the Feb. 11 rally as well. Distribute this to anyone who may be interested.

solidarity, Alex

RALLY To Commemorate the 3rd. Anniversary of the Crown Central Petroleum Lockout in Pasadena, Texas

When: Thursday, February 11th. at 4:30 pm Where: The Blaustein Building, 1 N. Charles St., Baltimore

Crown Central s Headquarters

IT HAS BEEN 3 LONG YEARS

On February 5, 1996, Crown Central Petroleum locked out 250 members of the Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers Union at its Pasadena oil refinery. The National AFL-CIO has launched a national BOYCOTT of CROWN.

Crown wants to break the union. Crown wants its workers to agree to the permanent replacement of nearly half its workers and elimination of seniority.

Crown also has been charged with discrimination in a Texaco-style lawsuit. Crown has been charged in another lawsuit with polluting the environment and damaging the health of the nearby residents.

Three years is a long, long time to be locked out of your job. Religious, Labor, Community, Student, Environmental, and Civil Rights organizations have been calling for Henry Rosenberg and the Blaustein family to end the lockout. We are asking Crown Central to admit and settle the civil rights and environmental violations.

Here on the three year anniversary of this cruel lockout, we ask for peace and justice for these workers.

Please don t buy CROWN CENTRAL PETROLEUM products.

Friends don t let friends buy SCAB Gas!

BOYCOTT CROWN!

Send a message to Crown, its CEO Henry Rosenberg and the Blaustein family that we won t tolerate Racism, Sexism, Destruction of the Environment and Union Busting!
