Jobs with Justice Leader to Speak in C-U, Nov. 4
James Thindwa, Executive Director of Chicago Jobs with Justice, will be the featured speaker at the Illinois Disciples Foundation Annual Fall Dinner, Saturday, November 4th.
Doors open at 5pm. Dinner tickets are $20. Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Call 352-8721 or email tayabji@shout.net for more information.
Thindwa will give a talk entitled "Intersecting Workers Rights, Living Wages and Undocumented Immigration." Chicago Jobs with Justice was very involved in the campaign for the "big box" living wage ordinance passed by the city council in Chicago, which was vetoed by Mayor Daley. The council narrowly sustained the veto. Sponsors of the measure have vowed to keep pressing on the issue. Tickets will be available at the Steering Committee meeting Saturday.
