CANCELLED: Rally With Workers At FuelCell (New Haven)
Shubert Theater, 297 College Street, New Haven
UPDATE: The rally this Saturday with the workers from FuelCell Energy has been cancelled.
After learning that FuelCell Energy CEO Jason Few was engaging in retaliation and union busting, the organizers of TEDxNewHaven have removed the CEO from their program!
Thank you to everyone who was willing to come out to support these workers. We will be in touch about future actions as they continue to fight for their jobs back and a fair contract.
In late April, twelve workers at FuelCell Energy who were tired of wage disparities and not having a voice on the job, voted to form a union and joined the Operating Engineers.
Over the next two weeks, however, two workers who had no prior disciplinary issues were illegally fired and another was pressured to resign.
This was retaliation, pure and simple.
On Saturday, June 11, FuelCell CEO Jason Few will be at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven to deliver a TED Talk. We’ll be there to greet him and let him know that you can’t fire workers for supporting a union.
Join with the workers at FuelCell on Saturday as they call for the immediate reinstatement of the terminated workers and to begin bargaining a contract in good faith.
