[lbo-talk] Borders Books Workers to Strike

[borders union]

Workers at Borders Books store #1 in Ann Arbor, MI
will go on strike this Saturday, November 8 at 9:00
AM. We do not take this step lightly. By striking, we
hope to convince Borders Management to negotiate with
us in good faith so we can reach a fair contract and
return to our jobs.

We are writing to ask you to continue to support us
by-
1) boycotting all Borders, Waldenbooks, and
Amazon.com;
2) volunteering to picket with workers in front of the
store;
3) joining Borders Readers United, our community
support coalition (bru at riseup.net)
4) calling Borders Headquarters (734-477-1100) to tell
them you support us;
5) coming to our Strike Fund Concert at the Ark in Ann
Arbor on 11/10/03;
6) signing an online petition:
BordersReadersUnited.2ya.com;
7) joining a solidarity picket at a Borders near you
(in Minneapolis contact: chrisconry2000 at hotmail.com);
8) forwarding this message to all your friends and
colleagues!

In Solidarity and thanks,
Borders Workers Union Organizing Committee
