Notices by Atlanta IWW (atliww@union.place)

The Literature Committee of the UK IWW is working on a new publication to supplement their existing Wildcat newsletter! It is meant to publish stories from wobblies as well as non-members who are interested in the class struggle. If you'd like to write for them, check out the Wobbly Times website (wobsite?):

@horqua unfortunately sympathy strikes are illegal in the U.S. so as far as I know UPS is not on strike. Whether they will discuss not crossing the picket line remains to be seen. In some places the amazon workers are trying to block access to the distribution centers so that trucks can't leave or get in, and cops in some places are breaking the lines to allow scabs in or delivery vehicles out. They have not called for a boycott on ordering from amazon AFAIK.

@horqua Update: I asked around how folks who aren't near one of the striking warehouses can support them, and it looks like they've got a site setup just for that!

@horqua If you're in Wyoming there's not a strike near you, so I don't know that there's anything you can do to show your support right now, but keep an eye on the Teamsters site or social media, they may have specific asks later! I'll try to find out more too.

The Teamsters have announced a nationwide strike of Amazon employees! In Atlanta DGT8 is the strike location, so head out there and show your fellow workers some love!
