The Partisan Defense Committee protests Thursday’s police assault on striking Teamsters outside Amazon?s delivery site in Maspeth. At least two union members were arrested--Teamsters organizer Tony Rosario and Jogernsyn Cardenas, after he stopped his van to join the pickets. Following the arrests the cops broke the picket line in two, barricaded strikers and threatened mass arrests. This show of force is intended to intimidate not just Amazon workers striking against poverty wages and brutal work conditions, but workers throughout the city.

We demand: Drop the Charges: Hands off Teamsters strikers!

Sincerely,

Kevin Gilroy
For the Partisan Defense Committee
