SOUTH
ST.—Two workers who were fired from the Jamaica Plain store of Harvest
Co-op Markets in the last six months claim they were terminated for
expressing support for union organizing efforts at the nonprofit
supermarket. Harvest denies their accusations.
Diego Bencosme and Deon Furtick had both worked at Harvest for
close to four years. They were both fired for failing to punch out when
they went off shift—a rule they claim was rarely, if ever, enforced
during their tenures.
They were fired without prior warnings, they said.
Both say they were fired because of their support for a current
effort by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) to organize at
Harvest. Both have filed complaints with the National Labor Relations
Board.

Brooklyn, New York—Around 150 people marched across the Brooklyn Bridge with Make the Road New York and the Industrial Workers of the World NYC Branch for a May Day
immigrant rights demonstration. Flanked by red and black Wobbly flags
and signs that read “Opportunity for Immigrant Workers,” the
demonstrators chanted slogans like “Si se puede,” and “El pueblo,
unido, jamas tera vencido.”
There was a boisterous rally held before the march at Cadman Plaza
Park in Brooklyn, with music, dancing and chanting. One song’s lyrics,
roughly translated, said “we will overcome misery” and “we’ll have to
break the chains.”
