A sampling of what Jobs with Justice coalitions worked on this week.
Alternet reported on the campaign being forged by the UE and supported by Jobs with Justice targeting Wells Fargo bank for failing to extend credit to struggling businesses after receiving federal bailout money. This time, Wells Fargo is refusing to extend credit to Quad City Die Casting factory in Moline, IL, a decision which could force the company to close any day now. Wells Fargo is one of the “Bailout Bandits” that Jobs with Justice coalitions will be protesting during our Economic Recovery Week of Action September 24-October 1st.
Members of Massachusetts JwJ JwJ got ready to protest Whole Foods over CEO John Mackey’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, The Whole Foods Alternative to Obamacare, in which he argues against any government involvement in health care and advocates for health care reforms that emphasize “personal choices.” Stay tuned for more coverage as JwJ & others continue to put the pressure on this week.
