SWEATSHOPS, Milwaukee Proceedings Today – PNC Park Friday – New York Yankees
Fellow Worker Travis is going to court at 1:30 today. We will all learn whether or not the Brewers and the cops intend to push these ridiculous charges. This is a trumped up felony with a maximum of 9 months and $10,000. Travis just turned 18. The charges must be dropped and the First Amendment must protect the area around Miller Park. The members of the Pittsburgh General Defense Committee of the IWW that have had the chance to talk about it urge you to call Steve Ethier – the Brewer’s representative that has issued the blatantly unconstitutional “Expression Policy” Miller Park and tell him to drop the charges. Major League Baseball is in the mists of a coordinated effort to intimidate anti-sweatshop activists. We will be around the stadiums talking to baseball fans about sweatshops. Free speech around the stadium spaces is our to win this season!
