ALL OUT TO SUPPORT THE IMMIGRANT WORKERS OF B&H PHOTO - THIS SUNDAY 2PM
Rally to Support the B&H Workers
Where: B&H Photo, 420 9th Avenue near 34th Street, Manhattan
When: This Sunday, February 12, 2:00 p.m.
(Take the 7 train to the end of the line at Hudson Yards)
Come out this Sunday to support the courageous immigrant workers of B&H Photo,
who are facing a union-busting and job-destroying attack from the company.
After dragging contract negotiations out for well over a year, the company is
saying it will move the two unionized Brooklyn warehouses to a very distant
location in New Jersey, making it impossible for most of the immigrant union
workers to keep their jobs. (See below.)
Note: The Internationalist and CSEW contingent will be gathering at 1:45 p.m.
sharp immediately outside the Hudson Yards station of the 7 line.

Message forwarded by other supporters of the B&H workers:
To all of our COMRADES. The workers of the B&H CAMPAIGN AND USW CALL FOR AN
EMERGENCY ACTION in solidarity with the BH warehouse workers.
B&H Photo and Video has gone too far this time. For over a year, the workers
have engaged in negotiations with B&H management for a good contract that
protects their basic rights. They have trained in bargaining and established
networks to keep their co-workers informed and organized.
Now, B&H has decided to uproot and move their entire NY warehouse operation to
southern New Jersey. The workers have been given an ultimatum: move to NJ or go
unemployed.
The B&H workers have had enough. They are calling for action this Sunday.
B&H Workers Unite! Keep our jobs in NY!
NO UNION BUSTING
NO RUN AWAY SHOP
Sunday, Feb 12
2pm
Rally at Hudson Yards and march to B&H to demand they respect the workers.
Union busting is disgusting!
