MTWT: P.R.I.D.E. PICKET - Time to Show Our Power

This has been a sad period of time at Union CI: An old man is beaten, a hospitalized man may lose his feet, P.R.I.D.E. wages are being withheld, and we're calling for a picket.

Monday, May 10, 2004

I don't know how many of you have read the expose` that my husband wrote about P.R.I.D.E. not paying their inmate employees for work that they are required to pay them for. But that expose` has caused P.R.I.D.E. to scramble.

ALL their plants and factories will be closed on Thursday and Friday of this week so all the managers can go to corporate to figure out how to cover their behinds from the coming storm.

If any of you live in or near Pinellas county, or can be in Pinellas county May 13th or 14th, please add your support. Picketers in front of P.R.I.D.E.'s headquarters on those days would let them know for sure that we are watching and that we are telling the world about their use of prison slave labor.

Picketing is fun and easy. If you are willing to spend 2-3 hours either Thursday or Friday and would like information on how to best accomplish this, please email me off line and I will give all the information to make a serious impact on this issue. Even two LOLITS in front of their offices would cause them enormous grief. And if we could arrange to have pickets there both days, the impact would be priceless. Especially if they let D.O.C. know that the LOLITS were there.

Picketing is legal and a powerful form of public information. Please, please consider doing this. You won't be sorry you did. If I didn't live 1100 miles away I would most certainly be there!
