(Note: This hearing is part of the action agenda developed at the National Emergency Conference on Police Brutality in April. Congressional hearings have also been part of the workplan of the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights for the last three years, during which time we worked closely with Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez--who will be part of the hearing on Nov. 18.) ***Sat., November 22, 1997*** IBT Local 237 216 W. 14 St. NY, NY 8 am - 5 pm ORGANIZING: PALANTE SIEMPRE! SI SE PUEDE! A Northeast Conference on Organizing & Latino Workers The NYC Hispanic Labor Committee, the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute, the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights, and IBT Local 327 are calling on Latino youth and labor activists in the NY and NJ region to join us in a one-day conference to discuss one of the most important civil rights issues today: the right to organize workers into unions. Bosses and their corporate agenda are running America's workplaces like dictatorships. We believe there is a link between the rising racisml police brutality, and immigrant bashing, the collapsing educational system, the loss of jobs, and our collapsing communities, with Corporate America's attack of workers and our unions. The ultimate goal of these groups working together is to recruit young Latinos to be trained, get paid, and work as a NEW GENERATION OF LATINO LABOR WARRIORS to organize working people in he fight for a new and just America.(Similar to the recent AFL-CIO-sponsored "Union Summer"--but with emphasis on recruiting and training -- for pay -- Latino youth and community activists to organize Latino workers.)
