Rally at Nob Hill Saturday for Workers' Rights
From Working Families e-Activist Network, AFL-CIO:
All this week, all over the country, people are speaking out for the right to form unions and bargain for a better life. Unions and our allies are holding rallies, marches, town hall meetings and more in honor of International Human Rights Day.
This Dec. 10 is the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which lists the fundamental human freedoms, including the right of workers to form unions. But in America, that fundamental freedom is at risk. Workers are routinely harassed and even fired for participating in union activities. That’s why we are engaging in a massive, nationwide mobilization effort all this week in honor of International Human Rights Day.
