“Llenar
el VACIO ECONOMICO” Con el "www.Universal Living Wage"
|
|
| Acompañenos en nuestros puentes nacionales para proclamar el: | |
| El Salario de Vivienda Universal Un Evento Historicò-Estaremos en puentes en Cada Estado de Nuestra Nacion | |
| De acuerdo con la premisa moral que cualquiera persona que trabaja 40 horas a la semana debe de tener los recursos para rentar casa en cualquier lugar que el trabajo se hace a través de los E.U. | |
| Plane a unirse en las banquetas de la calle 11 y 12 sobre la IH35. | |
| 4:30-6:30 p.m. (a las 6:30 estaremos con nuestros amigos del Pan de Mobiles y Pescados) | |
| El salario mínimo federal es $5.15 por hora. Hay 10.1 millones de trabajadores del salario mínimo. De esta gente 40% son cabezas de familia. No tienen ninguna cobertura medica, ni pago para enfermedad, ningunas ventajas de retiro y no consiguen ninguna vacaciónes. | |
| En los Estados Unidos 3.5 millones de personas experimentarán falta de un hogar este año. El gobierno de Estados Unidos dice que 42 % trabajan durante la semana. Evidentemente, la ética de trabajo está allí ... pero el salario no esta. Con $5.15 la hora hasta los trabajadores de tiempo completo no tienen los recursos para rentar casa. Con la iniciación del ULW, moderadamente, más de un millón de trabajadores de salario mínimos podran trabajarse ellos mismos fuera de las calles de América! | |
| Con esto evitaran falta de hogar economica para todos los 10.1 millones de salario minimo. | |
| Acompañenos para:
DIA De Llenar el Vacio Economico! Contacto: Richard R. Troxell 796-4366 o rrtroxell@aol.com El movimiento acaba de empezar! |
|
| Guarden la Fecha-Martes dia 5 de septembre-Dia de los Trabajadores Mas 1 | |

An Open Letter to the Universal Living Wage Campaign... |
|
Richard, On June 15, 2005 the Detroit Air Transport will be performing informational picketing at The Detroit Metro Airport from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and we will use whatever signs I have left along with our picket signs. This is a huge union town as you know, and we get a lot of attention about the cause. I passed along signs to our local UAW members, and SEIU members. I would love to participate in the Bridge Banners. Our Local Lodge is committed to your organization and the cause. I will be proposing a motion for a donation to your organization to our membership, which I know will pass...have to do the formality thing. Keep up the great work! Stephen M. Gordon President |
