Friday 6 17th at 8-10pm SEIU location 701 1st st. Warehouse District, Mpls
The Center for Workers United in the Struggle (CTUL in Spanish), which just completed a Hunger Strike (12 days)
in an effort to get CUB Foods to dialogue about fair wages & working conditions, has been met by a suit -organizational & personal - for its 2 organizers.

SuperValu, CUB's parent company, has brought this, & the first hearing is this coming Monday.

WE need to raise money to help the org. & the organizers defend themselves, & to further support the movement for workplace fairness.

THIS FRIDAY, EVE., 17th, there will be a concert from about 8 -10 p.m. @ the SEIU location of 701 No. 1st St, Warehouse District, Mpls. downtown. Hope to see you there!

we need to stand with those who stood up, spoke out and sat down for a hunger strike.

With the help of CTUL, workers who clean Cub Foods stores have been trying for over a year to engage Cub in a dialogue about fair wages and working conditions.
Also with the help of CTUL, workers went on Hunger Strike for 12 days beginning at the end of May in a further effort to seek a dialogue. Now the parent company of Cub, SuperValu, is suing CTUL and its organizers personally.
We need to raise money to help CTUL and its organizers to defend themselves against SuperValu’s lawsuit and to provide further support to the movement for workplace fairness that CTUL has been leading.
