Help workers at Rite Aid win the good jobs our communities need!
Leaflet a Rite Aid store!
Monday August 10th at 5:00 pm
Rite Aid warehouse workers in Lancaster, California need our support. Before workers voted to form a union in 2008, Rite Aid committed dozens of unfair labor practices. And since then, in an effort to prevent them from achieving a first contract, the warehouse workers have faced continuing anti-union terror.
Employees endure constant harassment, suspensions and in some cases, illegal firings, simply for supporting their union. The warehouse isn’t properly heated during the winter or cooled during the summer. This has led to numerous complaints by the National Labor Relations Board.
If Employee Free Choice was enacted, the workers would have a contract by now!
On Monday, August 10 Join other supporters of workers’ rights at the following Rite Aid locations:

393 Highland Ave
