JACKSON, Mississippi—More than 150 unionists and other workers gathered at the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 3511 hall here December 10 for a teach-in and rally, sponsored by the AFL-CIO on International Human Rights Day. CWA members involved in an organizing drive of city workers here joined the action along with auto workers, teachers, and members of Black rights and immigrant rights groups. Unionists addressing the rally extended messages of solidarity to Nissan workers in the area fighting for union recognition and to toilers along the Gulf Coast confronting the social disaster since Hurricane Katrina. According to the AFL-CIO, more than 120 similar events took place across the United States the second week of December.
