Wisconsin Students Tell Chancellor to Drop Palermo's Pizza Contracts

United Staudents Against Sweatshops photo

Students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are taking a stand for striking Palermo's Pizza workers and you can help. They are asking university Chancellor David Ward to cut the contracts with Palermo’s unless the company hires back illegally fired workers and recognizes their union.

You can boost their cause by spreading the word with a tweet or Facebook post. Here’s how you do it.

Palermo's Pizza workers, who have been on strike since June 1, are demanding safe working conditions and recognition for their union. They also are seeking reinstatement of 90 workers who they say were terminated for organizing. The National Labor Relations Board is investigating those charges.

You also can show your support by "liking" the Support Striking Palermo's Workers Facebook page; click on the Slice of Justice action page for more ways to help.
