Anti-sweatshop activists across the country are starting a campaign against
Major League Baseball and the corporations that manufacture their
merchandise. In Pittsburgh, The No Sweatshops, Bucco campaign will
periodically be at PNC Park educating Pirate fans about the deplorable
conditions in which their Pirate merchandise is made.
The next action will take place (on mothers' day) Sunday May 12 starting
at 2:30. We will be discussing what we want from the MLB, teams, and fans.
Then we will be passing out leaflets to the masses. I attached a letter
from Ken Miller, from the IWW, who is taking charge of this campaign. If
you'd like to get on the No Sweatshop, Bucco dlist or have any questions,
email him. Or, you can email me. Everyone should come out and support the
campaign.

Sunday May 12 - No Sweatshops Bucco Meeting and leaflet+ing - Gather at
2:30 in the labor park
Hey Folks,
I think we are all still figuring out where to go from here, I know I am.
With school ending and the wobs just forming here in the Burgh - it is
understandable that things are taking some time to work themselves out. I
think this date is good, it gives us some time to prepare some proposals
and talk to everyone we want to talk to for impute. Rather than just a
meeting - Let's get more people back into the space. The game starts at
1:35 - I think that one thing we learned the last time is that post game
leafleting is more exciting because there is a flood of people all at the
same time. So we meet in the park (hopefully it will be sunny) talk and
plan, maybe eat - and then do the leafleting with the leftovers from the
anti-sweatshop home opener. We'll see what can be accomplished before then
in terms of a plan for the following month.
I'd really like to do something for the 4th of July - that is a cap give
away and a great time to talk about civil rights. Maybe that is something
that can be on the agenda for 5/12. I'd like to get some working groups
together before this 5/12 date and I know the wobs have a meeting before
then - I just think that setting a date to head back into the space is an
important anchor - is there anything blairingly wrong with the 5/12 date?
In Solidarity, Kenneth
