Support Students and Workers Protest: Wednesday Aprill 22nd
Dear CUNY supporters of the Stella D'Oro strike:
The strikers are picking up momentum and support and the company is feeling the pressure, even though there is no breakthrough yet. An exciting development is the link-up between the Stella strikers and CUNY students fighting tuition hikes and budget cuts. The PSC has been a strong supporter of the strike all along, but until now students have not been that active. No more! Please help build for a joint rally of CCNY students and Stella strikers this Wednesday, April 22: At City College, W. 137th/Convent Ave., from 2-4 pm, a walkout to protest tuition hikes. At the Stella D'Oro plant, W. 237th/Broadway, 4-6 pm, a rally to win the strikers' demands. At both sites Stella workers and CUNY students will join their voices and their struggles. This is a great development! After the CCNY rally students and workers will go together on the "protest train," the #1 train, to the
Bronx plant. Even if students can't get to the rallies they should know about it. And do try to come yourself. It's not often that a moment like this arrives, where one feels something building that has the promise of being adequate to the moment.
