Community / Labor Strike Support Committee meets every Saturday at 10am at Strike Headquarters - University Baptist Church, 1219 University Ave SE, Minneapolis

University AFSCME locals (3260, 3800, 3801 and 3937) need your support and solidarity. A strike could begin at the University on the first or second day of classes (Sep 4 or 5), and we are asking supporters on campus, in the community, and in the labor movement to help us win a contract that our members and our families can live with.

AFSCME Clerical, Technical and Health care workers at the University of Minnesota walked out on strike on September 5th. They need our support. Please join us for an evening of solidarity to support the AFSCME U of M strikers. Come hear updates from the striking unions and statements of support from other unions.

Monday 9/17 @ 4:30pm on Northrop Mall, U of M East Bank, Mpls.
Undergrad and grad students are meeting regularly to plan events, actions and education in solidarity with striking AFSCME workers.

Support the Hunger Strikers by visiting them at Northrop Mall. Don't bring your lunch.

Location: Northrop Mall in front of Morrill Hall
(rain location: east end of Washington Ave walk bridge)

Wednesday 9/19 @ 12:15p @ East Bank Mall

The Faculty Strike Support Committee is sponsoring a silent protest in solidarity with the striking AFSCME workers. We will be silent for one half hour, followed by a minute of “noise,” because we are struck speechless by the administration’s refusal to offer the workers a fair, living-wage contract and because of the continuing attacks on academic freedom and free speech that they are waging against supporters of the strike. Please join us.

Call on Bruininks to provide a fair settlement for the striking AFSCME workers!

1PM, Wednesday, 9/19 TO 1PM, Thursday 9/20

All are welcome to participate by joining the core group of Hunger
Strikers for Justice in a 24 hr solidarity hunger strike. To launch
the action, we will gather in front of Morrill Hall following the
"Struck Speechless" event.

Wednesday @ 4:30pm @ Strike Headquarters
University Baptist Church (at University and 13th, Dinkytown)

With the strike of 3,500 AFSCME workers entering the third week, we are at a crucial juncture in this struggle. Student and community support remain absolutely vital for helping to push this stubborn union-busting administration back to the negotiating table with a fair contract on offer.
