Here is a picture of some of the purses which were so graciously donated to the WOS Local 3657 Purse Drive. As you can see the response was overwhelming.

Since there are an overabundance of purses and personal hygiene items we will be able to “spread the wealth” as they say to a number of different organizations. Paulette Battisti has made contact with a young woman from New York City, who works directly with the hurricane victims in several area shelters. The purses will be drop shipped to a central location and hopefully the WOS will be making a road trip to visit the facilities.

Also, purses are being sent out to (2) local women’s shelters and a facility called the Center For Hope, who will give the purses out to the women who are signed up for their food pantry.

5pm, Wednesday May 1–Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers Hall

May 1st has been historically linked to international workers’ rights. It started, May 1 1886 when the U.S. Federation of Organized Trade and Labor Unions – which included immigrant workers from all over — ruled that an 8 hour work day, would be a full and legal work day. The ruling class refused, causing riots and the long and even deadly battle to win rights for workers. It wasn’t long before workers from all over the world began protesting and standing up for their rights. While we may think we have secured safe conditions, the promise of a minimum wage and overtime after a 40 hour work week for all working people, the truth is that we have much more work to do. The battle that began between the ruling class and the working class in 1886 is still smoldering today.
