Saigon Grill Delivery Workers Awarded $4.6 Million |

Thursday, 12 June 2008 |
Saigon Grill delivery workers courageously protesting unfair and unlawful working conditions, have had a victory. A U.S. District Court judgment of $4.6 million was awarded to 36 employees of Saigon Grill Restaurant for labor law violations. For two years, delivery works with the support of Justice Will Be Served!, Democracy for NYC and other community groups, have been picketing Saigon Grill Restaurants on the Upper West Side and University Place.
These workers were fired in March 2007 in retaliation for planning to bring a lawsuit against the owners Simon and Michelle Nget. The workers were represented by Davis Polk & Wardwell in conjunction with the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and organized by Chinese Staff & Workers' Association and 318 Restaurant Workers Union.
Picketing and boycotting of targeted restaurants will continue. Contact Justice Will Be Served! for details.

More Letter writing for Obama - Join us Tues and/or Wed, Oct. 21-22
We will be writing letters to progressive Democrats in swing states (members of Democracy for America) asking them to volunteer for Obama!
Several key swing states will determine who wins this election. Democracy for America (the organization started by Gov. Howard Dean after his presidential campaign) has members all across the country. We have lists from DFA of their members in swing states, so we will be writing handwritten letters to these DFAers encouraging them to join Obama's "Neighbor to Neighbor" program, http://barackobama.com/n2n.
We will provide letter writing materials for you and sample letters.
This Tuesday and Wednesday, we are writing to DFAers in northern Virginia, so we will also be suggesting that they volunteer for Obama through Judy Feder's campaign. Judy is a great Democrat running for Congress in the 10th District. Volunteering for Judy helps get a stronger majority in Congress, the Senate (Mark Warner is on the ballot in VA) and the White House!
Time: Tuesday, October 21 & Wednesday October 22 from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Host: Carlos Dennis

Join Democracy for NYC for an event for Don Barber, a terrific Democrat running for New York State Senate!
We are just 1 seat away from taking back the State Senate from the roadblock Republicans. When we regain Democratic control of the Senate, we can make real progres on rent reform, marriage equality, the environment, and other important issues. But we need good Democrats like Don Barber to make this happen!
When: Tuesday, Oct. 21, time TBD.
Where: Home of Betsy Malcolm, 300 Central Park West in Manhattan, between 90th and 91st streets.
RSVP: To Daniel, at danielscot-at-gmail.com (replace -at- with @).
Don Barber is running for New York's 51st State Senate District (central New York State). Don is a true public servant, currently serving as the Town Supervisor of Caroline, in Tompkins County (Ithaca is the county seat.) As both a farmer and contractor, he is intimately aware of the needs of many New Yorkers, from the working class to small business owners. Don is a life-long environmentalist, has testified before US Congress to protect the Finger Lakes, and has been working on environmental initiatives in government since 1983.
Upset by the costs of health insurance in NY? So is Don. Don's opponent, Republican Jim Seward, chairs the Senate Insurance Committee and has consistently defended insurance companies over the rights of individuals by undermining progressive efforts for reform at the committee level.
