Direct Action Gets the Goods in Greensboro, NC!

Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) - Mon, 05/13/2013 - 22:29

From greensboroiww.org

Last week, the Greensboro IWW achieved a swift and valuable win that illustrated the power of solidarity and direct action. A branch member had been unjustly fired from his job at New York Pizza on Tate Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. This fellow worker was owed more than $1100, including unpaid overtime and off-the-clock work, as well as money that was improperly deducted from his pay for rejected food and register shortages.

On Monday, May 6th, this fellow worker, accompanied by another branch member, delivered a letter to the boss from the Greensboro IWW, demanding payment in full by Friday. The branch was prepared to leaflet and picket at the location if our fellow worker did not receive his wages in full.
