No, it was a, um, quote game. "The Republican says X, the rich guy sips his
30-year-old whisky and the other two drink a six-pack each of cheap beer.
The Democrat says Y, the rich guy sips his 30-year-old whisky and the other
two drink a six-pack each of cheap beer. The third party candidate says Z,
and the middle-class person has to drive a gas-guzzling SUV to go get
another pizza."

There used to be lots and lots of this sort of drinking game that people
would come up with. I think they usually were focussed on special "events":
end of an epic show like Seinfeld or Lost, yet another very-special-episode
of Blossom, political debates, inaugurations.

I remember this particular one, probably from one of the elections in the
90's. I mentioned it to a friend and he wanted to see it. Naturally, it's
the tiem google isn't cooperating.

Years ago, there was a drinking game making its round of the 'net for use  during political debates.  I don't remember details, but there are a few that  stick.  It was a game for three people -- a rich guy, a middle-class person,  and an hourly service worker.  The rich guy brings great alcohol that he  doesn't share; the other two share cheap beer the middle-class person brings.  The hourly service worker brings all the snacks -- and the rich guy eats them  all.  Ultimately, the rich guy wins, the middle-class person and the hourly  service worker lose.

Massachusetts crime lab scandal

In recent weeks a scandal has emerged out of one of the Massachusetts State crime labs – the Hinton Lab in Jamaica Plain. One of the chemists in the lab, Annie Dookhan, is believed to have been interfering with controlled substance evidence since 2003. She is accused of tampering with evidence bags, weights, the calibration of machines, and stating that substances were narcotics when they were not.  What we know to date is that her actions have affected over 60,000 evidence samples and implicate at least 34,000 cases. The state is in the process of determining how to address this massive problem.

 

Immigration attorneys and organizations in Massachusetts are concerned about the impact such tainted convictions may have on non-citizens. We want to ensure that nobody is deported based on tainted controlled substance convictions and try to address the problem of those already deported based on such convictions.

 

We are asking for your assistance to identify non-citizens who are currently deportable, ineligible for admission, or have already been deported due to Massachusetts drug convictions. If you are aware of such a case, please send as much of the following information as possible to iiu@publiccounsel.net:

 

  1. person’s name
  2. date of birth
  3. person’s A #
  4. Docket number, Massachusetts criminal record, NTA and criminal defense attorney’s name.

 

As the subject of your email please write “DPH DRUG LAB CASE”

 

We will try to determine whether the individual’s case is one of the affected cases and if so, will assist in obtaining criminal counsel to move to vacate the conviction.

Finally, if you have clients with pending removal cases based on a Massachusetts controlled substance conviction you should request a stay of the proceedings until it can be determined whether or not it was a Hinton lab case.

Sept 21 National Day of Action for Homecare Workers

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.



MA Coalition for
Domestic Workers


Sep 21 | National Day of Action for Homecare Workers

Hello,

Today in the United States, there are an estimated 2.5 million home caregivers in America who assist older Americans and people with disabilities with activities critical to their safety and quality of life.
 
Despite their hard work, these home care workers - 90% of whom are women, and 50% of whom rely on public assistance to meet their own basic needs - are not entitled to the overtime and minimum wage protections that other American workers have.
 
Since 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act has guaranteed American workers minimum wage and overtime pay but home care workers were excluded from these basic protections, considered mere “companions."
 
A rule proposed last December by President Obama and the U.S. Department of Labor would extend basic labor protections to home care workers. Right now, the federal government is considering these changes to current labor regulations, but huge for-profit home care companies are lobbying hard in Congress to prevent the changes from going into effect and improving the lives of millions of home care workers across the United States.
 
On September 21st we in Boston are going to send a clear message to Congress that it is time to end the outdated regulation that treats these workers as second-class citizens.  Domestic workers who provide the support and services that help people with disabilities and seniors live with dignity need respect and rights!
 
TAKE ACTION!
 
Will you join us by calling MA Senators Scott Brown and John Kerry this Friday September 21st?
 
Senator Brown (202) 224-4543 Senator Kerry (202) 224-2742
 
My name is _______________. I am home care worker / domestic worker / live---in domestic worker/other_________. Today I am participating in a National Day of Action to win basic rights for homecare workers.

The Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed regulations to extend the Fair Labor Standards Act to homecare workers, giving them minimum wage and overtime protections. These regulations must be finalized now. Homecare workers help ensure that elders, parents and loved ones with disabilities receive quality care and support. The work they do is vital but the low-pay and long hours are unsustainable and unjust. Moreover, extending protections to homeworkers will help ensure dignified care for the elderly and people with disabilities so they can stay in their homes and out of institutions.
 
I want to urge Senator _______ to support DOL’s regulations and their finalization now, and to oppose legislation or other efforts to prevent home care workers from these long---overdue basic labor rights.

Thank you!
 
SIGN THE PETITION!
 
Thank you,
The MA Coalition for Domestic Workers

URGENT: 14,000 Janitors need our support!

Sisters and Brothers,

 

As many of you know, the 14,000 janitors of SEIU local 615 are currently negotiating their master contract with cleaning contractors, which will determine their economic reality for the years to come. 

 

Negotiations have reached a critical point and requires community support:

Contractors have proposed language that would revoke the modest but important gains the janitors won ten years ago, creating a permanent second tier with substantially lower rates and doing away with language intended to move workers to full time. Meanwhile, janitors are already struggling to make ends meet, having to work long hours in a patchwork of part-time jobs.  These jobs fail to provide them with crucial benefits like health care coverage, and they leave them with little precious time to be with their families, as mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers.

 

Their dignity as human persons and workers is at stake, and come October 1, they may be forced to go on strike to protect themselves and their families.



We are asking for the help of faith leaders in two key ways:

 

 

1. To please sign the attached public letter of support for the janitors, declaring that we will stand with them should they need to strike.  This letter will be posted in the Boston Globe next week, so please reply by 5:00pm next Tuesday Sept. 25.

 

2. And for all who are able, to attend a faith leader press conference next Friday Sept. 28?

 



-To sign on to the letter, please simply reply to this email with how you would like to be listed. 

-To RSVP for the press conference, please do the same, and I can keep you informed of more details as they arise.

 

Please reply with any questions you have.  And by all means, please share this amongst your networks!  The time is now.

URGENT ACTION - Please support janitors members of SEIU 615 while they negotiate for a new and better contact - Meeting Wednesday 9-19

Hey Folks!

 

Our brothers and sisters at SEIU 615 are facing an uphill battle at the bargain table.  Sadly, many of the employers don’t want to make these jobs the good dependable jobs that help to build a middle class and may result in the largest strike to hit Boston in 10 Years.  If you can, please stop by this briefing to get more info and show your support for these brave folks.

 

Edwin

 

SEIU Local 615

 

Justice for Janitors Campaign Briefing
Wednesday, September 19, 2012
9 – 11AM @
SEIU Local 615, 26 West Street, Downtown Boston

Cleaning contractors have proposed language at the bargaining table that would wipe out the hard fought gains that janitors have made over the last decade. Among other things, they are proposing to create a permanent second tier with substantially lower rates and doing away with language intended to move workers to full time.

As the 14,000 janitors of SEIU 615 approach the deadline of their contract on September 30th, community support will be more crucial than ever. Join the members and leadership of SEIU 615 for a breakfast and discussion of where we are now, what the most effective support actions will be, and how we are preparing for escalated activity.

Please RSVP to Khalida at ksmalls@seiu615.org, or 617-878-7460; www.seiu615.org

Hard working Janitors will need your support at this critical moment in the campaign – join us and learn more about how you can help. 

We will begin having DAILY noontime actions starting Monday, September 17, 2012 where we will need support from community allies.   

Here are ways to get involved and stay informed about our daily actions:

• To get daily updates about our daily actions, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
• http://www.facebook.com/SEIU615
• http://twitter.com/seiu615
• Meet at SEIU 615 (26 West Street, downtown) at 11:30AM for daily action briefings and
• Stand with us at a building to deliver a clear message to the city, contractors and owners – the community is watching and janitors have a right to full time work and a fair wage
  

Contact us if you want to volunteer to help in other ways.  Let us know you are willing, ready and able to STAND WITH WORKERS AND SUPPORT THEM IF WE NEED TO STRIKE.  We must go forward to protect our rights as workers, NOT backwards!

Re: fish puns

Because as pun themes go, it's as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
And it's fin! I cod mako fish puns all day just for the halibut. So
of course when the topic comes up, salmon always takes the bait.

Centro Presente Banner

URGENT ACTION!

Immigrant Workers Continue
Their Fight for Justice


Say NO! to Labor Exploitation in MA!

 

 

 

Media Contact:

Patrick McDermott, Centro Presente, 617-684-4656  

 
What: Latino immigrant workers continue their fight for justice! Former workers of One World Cuisine have been unable to reach an agreement with the owners of the restaurant group. Centro Presente supports the workers' decisions and will be joining the workers once again in staging a protest outside of Diva Indian Bistro to demand that the owners of One World Cuisine pay the workers. The workers calculate the wages they are owed to be over $129,000. They will also be filing a lawsuit for the wages.  

Where: Diva Indian Bistro, 246 Elm Street, Somerville, MA.
 
When: Thursday, September 13th at 6:00 p.m.

COME DOWN TO DAVIS SQUARE ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND SUPPORT IMMIGRANT WORKERS IN STANDING UP FOR THEIR LABOR RIGHTS!! 

¡UNION! ¡PODER! ¡JUSTICIA!
