Jobs with Justice Solidarity Calendar – Janaury 2012

The idea is to list all the information that is shared at our monthly Steering Committee—now it’s all here in one place, for folks to use in their union newsletters, church bulletins, email lists, or just to stick up on the fridge. (Apologies in advance for any accidental omissions; please check with event organizers to confirm any details, or call JwJ 503-236-5573.)

Ponderay Workers at Risk Website

Usk, Washington; October 25, 2011 — Ponderay Newsprint Company workers who work at a paper mill in Usk are speaking out about their health and safety concerns this week through a new website (www.PonderayWorkersAtRisk.org) and an early morning picket line and rally on Thursday, October 27th at the mill site.

We, the Ponderay paper mill workers, ask that these mill owner representatives from McClatchy (Sacramento Bee), Gannett (USA Today), MediaNews Corp. (Denver Post), and AbitibiBowater Inc. work with us to make the mill a safer place.
