Kia ora,

This Wednesday from 7:30pm at A Space Inside (193a Symonds Street, Newton) is going to be a fundraising evening of music, food and drink to raise funds for the 800 locked-out hospital workers who deperately need funds to support their bid for better pay. Some of them have been working for 20 years in the same hospital and are getting $11.66.

You can read more about their struggle on www.indymedia.org.nz or at www.sfwu.org

Entertainment will be provided by:

Haddon Smith on the Trumpet (of the Electric Confectionaires)

Ingrid Beckers on the Violin (NDU organiser)

Heather Simpson on the Guitar (ClimAction and Professional Busker)

A $5 suggested donation is asked. All proceeds to the lock-out fund. Drinks will also be available.

Have a good night and break a leg up there!

This evening in Wellington activist bucket collectors and Brass Razoo Solidarity Band busked up $405.00 off the streets in 40 minutes. There's working class support out there to be tapped into.

This is cancelled, due to the victory.

Re: Auckland: Wednesday Night Fundraiser for Locked-out Workers

Why cancel it,
Why not use the event to celebrate the victory and then use the money to start a strike solidarity fund for the next group of workers who (inevitably) will have to take action to get a similar result?
