>>Usually we ask for your activism to win the fights we share. But
>>today we're asking for something different. We're asking you to
>>give thanks to the 80,000 grocery workers in California, West
>>Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio who are holding the line for health
>>care and good jobs--theirs and ours--by making a small
>>contribution so their Thanksgiving will be a little less bleak.

>>Striking workers--like Rafael Morga, on the job 30 years with
>>Ralphs supermarket in Chino, Calif.--are sacrificing their
>>paychecks to win the battle against employer health care
>>cutbacks--a fight in which we all have a stake.
>>
>>These workers need our help. The strike fund dollars they
>>receive from their union help but can't stretch to cover even
>>the basic needs of their working families.
>>
>>As we approach Thanksgiving, give thanks for the stand these
>>workers are taking...and GIVE just a little to help support
>>them.
>>
>>For just $15, you can provide a turkey that will feed the
>>family of a striking grocery worker this Thanksgiving. (Every
>>additional $15 you give helps another family.) And you'll let
>>them know you are grateful for the sacrifice they are making.

>>The grocery chains are demanding the workers accept what amounts
>>to a 75 percent cut in health coverage for new workers and a 50
>>percent cut for current employees. Like employers across
>>America, they are trying to boost their profits at the expense
>>of workers and workers' families. If the grocery chains win,
>>we'll all have a harder time holding on to the health care
>>benefits we've bargained and fought for.
>>
>>Please take a moment today to make a secure donation so workers
>>holding the line for health care can have a great Thanksgiving.
