I was let go from Earth Fare supermarket, in 2006, because I was standing up for the employees and informing them of their rights. Earth Fare found a bogus reason to fire me and then held meetings with employees to coerce them into not forming a union. They even went so far as to requiring that employees attend a meeting where they showed a video explaining why unionizing is bad for them.
On the positive side, letting me go was the best thing for me, since it lead to my becoming a community organizer and helping people fight back against injustice.
We've decided to cancel the protest. The tenants will be able to stay. Thanks to everyone who put in hard work to help these renters. Thanks to everyone who supports them. Thank you Creative Loafing for such a great article. This definitely helped.
In 2 weeks, we will hold a party to celebrate this great victory and to acknowledge the hard work that these tenants put in and their development as great leaders for their community.
Great book store! Don't listen to wecandobetter. The whole staff is really friendly. It is also great that there is a vegan/ earth friendly corner in the store where you can buy environmentally friendly products for your home and kitchen.
