Worker Justice Group seeks Democracy in the Workplace

Submitted by AlBrundage on Sat, 2013-03-09 01:37


On the first Monday of every month the Flying Squirrel Community Space in Corn Hill hosts a discussion series called "Monday Mayhem."  Topics have ranged from the housing crisis to the threats caused by fracking.  For March, the discussion was of worker justice.  The United States Constitution guarantees us certain inalienable rights like freedom of speech, association, innocence until proven guilty and freedom from unwarranted searches and seizures.  But these basic principles don't apply at most workplaces.  And that's only the beginning.  Many workers also face unsafe and unhealthy working conditions, discrimination, sub minimum pay and denial of overtime.  Often the employer finds it's cheaper to pay the fine than fix the problem.  Workers who speak out face retaliation.  What can we do about it?

Protesters Greet Governor With Message About Fracking

Submitted by AlBrundage on Thu, 2013-02-21 19:46

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo visited Rochester on February 21 2013.  Despite a stiff wind and temperatures in the teens he was greeted by 40-50 demonstrators calling for a ban on the drilling process known as "fracking" for natural gas.  Another group of 10 or so were demonstrating against the State's new gun law, one of the most restrictive in the nation.  While the issues may seem unrelated, members of both groups were critical of the lack of access ordinary citizens have to elected officials.  One said "it's like he's a Duke or something...he doesn't care about us."

When the Chickens Come Home to Roost: Christopher Jordan Dorner's "Last Resort"

Submitted by T. Forsyth on Wed, 2013-02-13 09:03

From: Christopher Jordan Dorner /7648

 

To: America

 

Subj: Last resort

 

Regarding CF# 07-004281

 

I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be villified by the LAPD and the media.

Zimmerman's Trial Approaching; Trayvon Martin Rally from 2012

Submitted by T. Forsyth on Fri, 2013-01-25 08:08
March 22, 2012: Demonstrators gather at the Liberty Pole in Rochester, NY to denounce the fact that the alleged killer of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, still hadn't been charged with a crime and was free. Current events continue to inform us about these same issues--stand your ground laws and gun control, mass shootings and gun violence, and racism. Therefore, we felt this was worth putting up and certainly timely.
