On April 23rd members from the community of El Dorado county and Red Hawk Casino workers came together to share some food , share stories, discuss union organizing and to build community support for the Red Hawk workers union organizing campaign.
The event was a huge success, every seat was filled! There were labor leaders from different unions, community leaders, labor activist, clergy leaders and rank n file workers from the Red Hawk casino as well as workers from other industries through out El Dorado county.
We heard horrific stories from Red Hawk workers on what the working conditions were like at the Red Hawk casino while other unionized workers we able to share their strengths of what it was like to work in a union shop.
Everyone who attended partisapated in break out workshops showing how bad negative jobs affect a community while good decent unionized jobs only benefit a community.
The energetic community support for the Red Hawk workers was amazing and overwhelming!
To all who attended and contributed to this event we send out a heart felt THANK YOU!
