First Annual Dallas Labor Day March and Rally

Dear Workers' Rights Board Members and Friends,

We are excited about our annual Labor Day Hearing and invite you to attend.
We have expanded our August hearing to include a march and rally with food.
Please join us and spread the word. Bring your friends and family! 

Labor Day: Learn, take action, march, eat!

Join North Texas Jobs with Justice, United Food and Commercial Workers
(UFCW) International, OUR Walmart, UFCW Local 540at the Texas Theatre, 
231 W Jefferson Blvd, Oak Cliff, Dallas on Saturday, August 31, starting at 
10 AM for "Can't survive on $7.25!" investigating the effects of low wages on 
area workers and our Community Workers' Rights Board Hearing with Congressman 
Marc Veasey and other panelists including testimony by a Walmart worker.

As it becomes harder to support a family, we need jobs with wages that keep people 
out of poverty. The largest population of minimum wage workers in the US lives in 
Texas. Worker rights are a community concern!

Immediately following the hearing we can take action by joining the First Annual 
Dallas Labor Day March and Rally- in solidarity with Low-Wage Workers demanding change-

We will march from the Texas Theatre (231 W Jefferson Blvd, Oak Cliff,
Dallas) at noon down Jefferson Street to Oak Cliff United Methodist Church 
(547 EJefferson Blvd, oak Cliff, Dallas) where we will gather for free hot dogs
and drinks will be offered from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM. Additional speakers
will offer their insights on low-wage jobs and their impacts.

For more information contact North Texas Jobs with Justice at 214-632-5695
or e-mail jobswithjusticetexas@gmail.com


Let's be there for each other! Let's be there in solidarity!
