Southern California Labor for Jackson
Coordinators: James Franklin, Ophelia McFadden, Humberto Camacho, Maria Elena Durazo, Henry Gonzales, Juisa Gratz, George Samanc, Mark Masoaka
3960 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90010 (213) 380-...
The numbers are there . . .
Jesse Jackson CAN win in 1988!
Jesse Jackson takes the best stands on the issues facing working men and women today. He CAN win the nomination ... the numbers are there ... IF everyone who supports his stands will vote for him! Jackson's campaign is rapidly taking root among farmers, peace activists, teamsters and elected officials—people from all walks of life, from all parts of the country. This proves Jesse Jackson's statement that "I have shown that when I can get out and talk to people about my stands on the issues, they will vote for me.''
So the challenge is before us. For the California primary we, too, must organize and vote for the candidate who best articulates labor' s concerns for the future direction of this country - Jesse Jackson.
Jesse Jackson's campaign clearly carries the program we need in the Democratic platform this year. It carries the method for making that platform a reality—empowering millions of minorities, women, working and unemployed people through voter registration and organization. And Jackson is already having a powerful impact on politics in this country. A key factor in defeating Robert Bork's Supreme Court nomination were the thousands of voters, newly-registered through Jackson's Southern campaign efforts, who pressured their U.S. Senators to vote against Bork.
For all these reasons, the choice is clear. Join us on the Jackson for President '88 campaign!
Southern California Labor for Jackson is a committee of union officers, staff and rank and file workers. We are responsible for mobilizing the local labor constituency of the Jesse Jackson '88 campaign through outreach, fundraising, education, and other activities.

Workers' Bill of Rights
by Jesse L. Jackson
Workers have a right to . . .
1. A job
People need jobs and there are jobs which need to be done. We can build the housing, roads, and bridges that we need as well as provide care for this nation's people. We can end plant closings without notice and unemployment without hope.
2. A democratic union
All workers, including public employees, should be able to organize themselves into democratic unions, have those unions be recognized, and work under a collective bargaining agreement.
3. A living wage
People who work full-time should be able to rise out of poverty on their pay. American families need family wages. Young workers (youth) need opportunity.
4. A healthy life and a safe workplace
Workers need affordable and accessible health care, a right to know the dangers at work, and good faith enforcement by skilled experts of the laws meant to protect their lives.
5. Both work and family
No one should be forced to choose between a paycheck and a sick child, or between keeping their job and giving birth.
6. Pension security
A pension belongs to the worker, not to the company. Every worker is entitled to one as secure as FICA. Workers should have a voice in ensuring that their pension funds be used in their own interest, and not against them.
7. Fair competition
International trade needs a level playing field. Recognition of the basic democratic rights of workers at home and abroad to organize, bargain collectively, and to have enforced work place standards is needed. Free labor cannot "compete" with slave labor.
8. Freedom from discrimination
There also needs to be a level playing field at home—affirmative action for those locked out of better paying jobs and pay equity for those locked into low wage jobs.
9. Education that works
Workers need basic education for current jobs and life-long education for a changing economy.
10. Respect
The contributions of workers, past and present, deserve a prominent place in the education of future workers. Those who give a life of labor deserve to have the companies for whom they work reinvest in their industry, in their community, and in their country.
