SUPPORT FOR WORKING FAMILIES

Victory!

Over 62,000 workers represented by seven UFCW local unions in Southern California have been bargaining since March for a fair contract that will preserve their benefits and keep good, family-supporting jobs in their communities. Congratulations to these valiant workers. They are an inspiration to all of us!

Lawmakers want to

keep Bush tax loopholes

for richest 2% by

crippling senior benefits!

Dear Friends:

We’re preparing for an

budget sequester that will have

critical consequences.

A significant issue is the

ongoing battle to cut

hard-earned and much needed

benefits.

Many elected officials are in

favor of giving special deals

to large corporations who

prosper by moving jobs overseas…

and they propose to do it by

cutting Social Security benefits

through measures such has

raising the retirement age to

70 and reducing cost-of-living

adjustments for those already

retired and substituting for it a "chained"

CPI. They need to hear from you

NOW!

If every individual and every

corporation did their part,

we could get America back

on track.

Don’t let the richest 2%

play by their own rules.

Robeson Display Traces Singers Fight for Equality and Unions

by Mike Hall, Sep 10, 2011

Paul Robeson in the USSR

Paul Robeson, once the premier African American artist of the 20th century, is well known as a scholar, athlete, actor and activist.Less well known is his long commitment to the union movement and his belief that the achievement of full equality for African Americans and other people of color is inextricably linked with the full equality of Americas working men and women.

Now you can learn more about Robesons commitment to unions and equality at the Labor Artsnewvirtual museum exhibit of Old Man River: Paul Robeson and the NMU. According to the exhibit:

Symbolic of Robesons devotion to the labor movement is his close connection with the National Maritime Union (NMU), which emerged from a failed effort by dissident members of the International Seamens Union in 1936 to improve the poor working conditions of sailors on merchant ships of the time, and the racial discrimination that was practiced on American vessels.

Using labor and folk songs as the medium, this exhibit explores Robesonsextraordinary efforts to use his prestige to oppose racial discrimination in hiring and operating ships and to secure humane living and working conditions for all sailors, including African Americans.

The exhibit features eight songs by Robeson in NMU settings: Waterboy, The House I Live In, Ol Man River, Joe Hill, Oh, No John, It Aint Necessarily So, The Peat Bog Soldiers and Shenandoah.

The Robeson exhibit is one of four exhibits Labor Arts is preparing on the NMU, which merged with the Seafarers (SIU)in 2001. Click here to view the exhibit and hear the songs.
