Support Clint Burelson, President of the Olympia local of the American Postal Workers Union, who was recently fired from his job at the post-Office for standing up for other postal workers, which he has the right to do. Clint is a long-time labor and social justice activist. He is the chief shop steward and president of the postal workers union. In these roles, he has consistently stood up for other workers to protest against their unjust treatment and also to work that all postal workers be treated with dignity and respect. He has been very effective in this role. Clint Burelson has consistently advocated and organized against privatization, for worker rights, against management acting as dictators and against consolidation of the post office and for better customer service. For this he has been suspended many times and was fired once before. He always has gotten his job back with back pay. We need to show solidarity for this courageous postal leader.

Join the picket in support of Clint Burelson being rehired,

Monday, January 12^th, 2009 from 11:00 A.M to 1:00 p.m. at the main Olympia post Office, 900 Jefferson St.
