Wear RED on Thursday.    If you are a member of a Union you are paid approximately 20% more!  You are four times as likely to have paid health insurance. Ten times more likely to have some kind of pension then Non Union.  Why??????? 

Because you've earned it. You are better trained more productive.  You are part of a Brotherhood\Sisterhood that has helped build and make, our country great.  Organized labor is older then the USA itself.  Ben Franklin was a unionist before he he was a founding father. Every month 1060 tries to illustrate that proud history. 

In that history, many have died and many have bled.  The idea of Wearing Red as a sign of Solidarity began at The Communications Workers of America in 1989.  It began as a movement for a brother who lost his life while on the picket line.  A Manager driving scab replacement workers, through a picket line struck down and killed Brother Gerry Horgan. He lost  his life, for what he believed in.  He wanted what we all want, a good life for his wife, his children, his friends and his country.  Local 1103 in Westchester County N.Y. lost a Brother that day. A wife lost her husband and two little girls lost their daddy to Corporate GREED.

 

Remember, wear RED on Thursday , and please remember Brother Gerry Horgan!
