RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF U.P.S. STRIKERS
The State Central Committee of the Peace and Freedom Party of
California recognizes the heroism and applauds the courage of
United Parcel Service strikers, who are confronting corporate
super-exploitation of "part-time" workers, a serious problem for
the entire American working class.
Whether walking a small injunction-limited picket line or
participating in mass mobilizations, each striker has the
sympathy and support of millions of workers, including the
members of our Party.
The State Central Committee hereby resolves to give both
practical and moral support to the strikers, their families, and
their union, and to urge County Central Committees and all 75,000
members of the Peace & Freedom Party to mobilize to support the
UPS strikers throughout the state.
The State Central Committee further urges the Party's friends in
other states to mobilize quickly to support the Teamster
strikers, and help them win a precedent-setting victory over the
brutal low-wage job-splitting policies of UPS, to the benefit of
UPS workers and the whole working class.
The resolution being put to a vote was unanimously adopted this
tenth day of August, 1997, in Berkeley, California.

[A collection being taken among the Central Committee members
present at the meeting, the sum of $200.00 was raised to forward
to the Local 315 strike fund.]
