Demonstrate Support for TWU Leader
April 23, 2006 pm30 7:53 pm
When: Monday April 24
Time?: 4 PM
Where: Brooklyn Borough Hall* (Court & Joralemon Sts, Brooklyn)
What: Rally in support of TWU President Roger Toussaint
Why?: Because they are union members jailed for acting in their members best interests; because they were jailed for violating a law that is aimed at teachers as well (The Taylor Law); and because they showed us that it is possible to stand strong.
We need to remember the risk they took to protect new members, and even members who have not been hired yet.
And we need to remember how expensive it can be to strike without winning.
* 2,3,4,5,M,N,R to Court St / Borough Hall
* A, C or F to Jay St / Borough Hall (2 blocks away)

So are you trying to say the Taylor Law should be thrown in the trash?
Certainly the Taylor Law should be thrown in the trash. But I was more concerned that we, union members, workers, stand together. I was heartened by the turnout.
