Give to Labor Notes!

Dear Friends of Labor Notes,

When workers at Republic Windows and Doors heard their boss was shuttering their factory with only three days notice, they knew their only chance was to fight back. They put the power of democracy and direct action on full display, launching the first sitdown strike in years.

After holding strong for six days, and winning a fight the whole world was watching, Republic’s workers had one message for the rest of us: keep the fighting spirit alive.

For almost 30 years that has been our mission at Labor Notes. And that’s why your support right now is so critical if we’re going to spread the spirit of the Chicago sitdown strikers and put some movement back in the labor movement.

They know the value of Labor Notes. Five rank-and-filers from their local were at our April conference, and at the time they got their pink slips they were part of a group helping plan a Troublemakers School in Chicago next spring.

With your tax-deductible contribution, Labor Notes can spread not only the inspiration but the “how-to” of the Chicago sitdown strikers, so that workers everywhere can breathe some life back into our movement.

Please give today!
