“Occupy Wall Street” continues in SLO

This is soooo spontaneous, how could I have ever doubted it…

Here is something I received today complete with talking points (why private unions are getting involved is only feeding the folks who will eventually make them obsolete):

———————————————————

“No doubt that you’ve heard by now about the “Occupy Wall Street” events in New York City, where tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest corporate greed and demand good jobs now. And maybe you’ve heard that this movement is spreading like wildfire, with Americans standing up for economic justice across the nation. Are you one of them?

This is a movement started by ordinary Americans, fed-up with the growing inequality in this country – people who simply want good jobs and a shot at the American Dream. Sympathy protests in cities all across the country – maybe yours! – are springing up, with events in over 300 cities currently on the map.

Click here to find an event in your area or find out how to take action. Raise your voice for economic justice!

This movement continues to grow – more and more ordinary Americans are standing up and demand their share of the success that’s being hoarded by the wealthiest 1% of the country. And it’s part of a larger movement, one that started earlier this year as workers like you fought back against corporate greed and right-wing politicians in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and across the nation.

The people “occupying” cities across the country are workers, students, and the unemployed. They are our friends and relatives, our neighbors and co-workers. They are fighting for the same things we are: good jobs, fairness, and an end to corporate greed and attacks on workers.

Will you join them? Will you join the 99% movement and help spread the message that we need good jobs and economic fairness now?

Thank you for all you do,

Your union, the UFCW”
