Identifying Extremist School Board Candidates

As you probably know, right – wing extremists all over the country are attempting to get elected to local school boards. Their goal once elected is to dismantle public education as we know it. Because school board elections are non – partisan it is often difficult to know who they are. If you live in Berea, Brook Park, Brooklyn, Lakewood, Middleburg Heights, North Royalton or Strongsville please click the link below to find out who to NOT vote for in your local school board election.
 
 
Please Support Our SEIU Local 1 Brothers and Sisters
 
What: Press conference calling on Playhouse Square President/CEO Craig Hassall to uphold the values that he claims, support workers’ rights to organize a union, to keep his word and hold the union busting security company, PalAmerican, accountable, and to use a responsible security contractor that respects workers’ rights. Playhouse Square won’t talk to the workers directly, opting instead to side with their union busting security contractor. Security officers, SEIU Local 1 janitors, and allies are taking the message directly to Craig Hassall as he presents at the City Club of Cleveland.
When: Friday, 10/27, at 10:30.
Where: In front of the City Club of Cleveland, 1317 Euclid Ave Suite 100, Cleveland, OH 44115
Please try to make it down tomorrow to help with a show of solidarity
