Urgent Situation, a message from Adam Case:

I am an organizer with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), who works for New
Alternatives, which is an non profit that runs Group Homes for "at risk children".

I have been working at New Alternatives for sixteen months. I have been talking to the employees about organizing and forming a union and circulating workplace petitions.

I was making progress in my organizing until I was fired on Friday, 2/22/09.
They used an incident that occurred on Wednesday as grounds for my dismissal.
They stated I had acted irresponsibly with a client(which is not the case).

I know they were looking for a reason to fire me because I had been harassed before.

I couldn't believe how widespread the harassment and intimidation was at New
Alternatives until I started working here. After working three months, I knew I
needed to try to organize a Union.

Now I am looking for community support for an action that will show the management,
that harassing and intimidating workers will no longer be allowed in San Diego.

I got a response from management.
They want to be dificult so I guess we are forced
to put the Picket back on.

It will be March 13, 2000, at 2:45 pm.
I'm attaching the poster

In Solidarity,

Adam

The demonstration will take place at:
Hillcrest
4311 Third Avenue,
San Diego, CA 92103
