**************************************************************
Come to a victory & solidarity rally with the Charleston 5
.....and show solidarity with the carousel strikers!
6:30pm -- Thurs., May 2
UNITE Hall -- 333 S. Ashland Ave., Chicago
**************************************************************
Last November, five dockworkers in South Carolina won a victory when
authorities dropped plans to prosecute them on felony charges after a police
attack on their picket line. After enduring more than 18 months under house
arrest, they won their freedom through an international labor solidarity
campaign.
In the spirit of May Day, the Charleston Five, members of the International
Longshoresmenıs Association, and Leonard Riley of ILA Local 1422, are coming
to thank the Chicago labor movement for our support.
Theyıre also here show solidarity for local struggles like the Carousel
strikers, who have on the picket line for more than six months in their fight
for a UNITE union contract.
Come help celebrate a major labor victory and show your support for Carousel
strikers and other labor struggles!
Sponsored by UNITE! Chicago and Central States Joint Board.
