Saturday, 11am to 1pm, at the Pittsfield store:

Please let Brian Morrison know you are coming: brian.morrison@state.ma.us, 413-281-3223. Berkshire Central Labor Council has adopted this shift.

Join us!  Please wear your organization’s apparel and/or a red shirt, as the strikers did.

Western Mass. Jobs with Justice will provide leaflets.  It is important to point out that we are leafleting not picketing!   Since the workers are not currently on strike, a picket would not be lawful.  Instead, we are passing out flyers in front of Verizon stores and to customers of other stores nearby.

If it looks like rain, we will make the decision to call it off by 9am and let you know by email.  We can send the email to your cell phone as a text message if you send your number and name of carrier to wmjwj@wmjwj.org. You can call the “store captains” listed above to be sure, but it’s better if you tell us in advance that you’re coming and we’ll call you.

When we call off a leafleting shift, the captains will be there at the beginning to tell anyone who did not get the message, but we’ll only wait 15 minutes.
