Stop Wage Theft! Campaign Launch
May 13, 2011
Join the Workers' Action Centre at the community launch of their Stop Wage Theft! campaign. Hear from Workers' Action Centre leaders on their fight to stop employers from stealing wages and watch undercover footage of how employers break the law in a new video expose. See also how workers are resisting through 'bad boss' actions around the city.
Celebrate our shared resistance:
with live Afro-Colombian percussion from Ruben 'Beny' Esguerra, a Columbian born multi-instrumentalist, lyricist and arts educator who will be accompanied by New Tradition Drum and Dance;
Lishai, an award winning poet and powerful performer who uses her words to create dialogue and tell her story; and
Rehaset, a Saudi-born Ethiopian who grew into being an independent musical artist out of necessity and whose mission is to bridge the gap between Afrikans and the world!
Come learn about the Workers' Action Centre's vital organizing work for precarious workers.
Organized and sponsored by the Workers' Action Centre
