Organized Workers for Labor Solidar- ity (OWLS) , a group of rank-and-file labor activists from several unions and unorganized workplaces, will picket the Freedom Foundation ’s an- nual fundraiser Sept. 29 in front of the Bellevue Westin at NE 6th Street and Bellevue Way, NE, Bellvue, Wash. Carpenters Local 30 and Washington Federation of State Employees Local 304 have en- dorsed the action. The Freedom Foundation is a right-wing think tank that is aligned with big busi- ness and wealthy conservative groups such as the American Leg- islative Exchange Council (ALEC) and National Right to Work Foun- dation. The Freedom Foundation’s agenda openly declares its goal is to “defund and bankrupt public em- ployee unions.” It has continued ef- forts to make Washington a “right to work” state, and to roll back re- cent minimum wage increases and other labor gains. The Foundation recently filed lawsuits to stop the City of Seattle’s proposed tax on high income earners, and to prevent unionization of Uber and Lyft driv- ers. The Foundation’s keynote speaker will be fast-food billionaire Andrew Puzder, who was Donald Trump’s first pick for Secretary of Labor. The former CEO of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s, etc.), is well known for his opposition to minimum wage laws and other worker protections. Picketing will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, call Maxine Reigel at 206-949-4552 or Patrick Burns at 206-261-1420, or email OWLS at OWLS@riseup.net.
