Grand Junction, CO- After months of organizing and radical action in the anti-worker state of Colorado, the hammer of injustice finally fell for one Industrial Worker of the World member.
Josh Carmona, IWW member and anarchist agitator on the Western Slope, was terminated from Toys For the Fun of It, Tuesday, for organizing his workplace. Although the official explanation that he was losing customers because of his involvement at a Romney/Ryan rally weeks earlier; Josh believes that this is just a coverup for his boss' wobbliephobia.
After a quick call to his delegate, John (4 Corners IWW), action was decided.
An unfair labor practice charge was filed with the National Labor Relations board.
An unemployment claim is being filed.
This Saturday, Nov. 10th, 2012, a call-in action is planned for the anti-worker toy store.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. MST please call or email complaints to the store letting them know what you think of worker reprisal and unfair labor practices.
