WC activists have been engaged in a variety of actions in solidarity with the fired Hyatt workers:
Picket at the Hyatt Cambridge! Followed by a Picnic along the Charles.
Sunday, May 16th, 11:30am – 1pm
535 Memorial Drive, Cambridge
Join an intergenerational Workmen’s Circle contingent for another opportunity to show our solidarity for the Hyatt 100. They still need our support and now’s the perfect time – it’s graduation weekend and the hotels are full! Stay afterwards for a picnic on the Charles. Bring something to share. Questions? Contact Leah Madsen (leah@circleboston.org).
