Agenda:
1. Intro to the UW ISO (30 min)
We'll talk about what the UW ISO hopes to accomplish this quarter and answer questions about how our group works on campus and off.
2. Labor War in Longview (45 min)
A labor struggle of national importance is taking place just two hours south of us in Longview by members of ILWU Local 21 and the union busting grain conglomerate EGT. Solidarity is urgently needed as EGT is expected to unload a scab ship in late January or early February. Hear about organizing plans in Seattle including a solidarity meeting this Friday (see announcement below).
