Somerville workers to protest billionaire-driven effort to use Supreme Court to further rig the system; #WeRise actions at workplaces call for more good, union jobs in our community

Union members in Somerville will be joined by community leaders and activists at Somerville City Hall on Feb. 26. The action will happen on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the Janus vs. AFSCME case, a lawsuit driven by anti-worker CEOs and billionaires to divide working people and limit our power in numbers.

The event is sponsored by SEIU local 888, Somerville Municipal Employees Association, Fire Fighters Local 76, Firemen & Oilers/SEIU Local 3, Our Revolution Somerville, Good Jobs Somerville, and Somerville Stands Together.

Monday’s action is one of more than 300 similar actions at work sites across the nation that will send a message that working people won’t be deterred by this latest attack on their collective power from joining together in unions for good jobs and strong communities.
