Israel Salinas Speaks Tonight!
 Israel Salinas will be speaking at the SEIU Local 503 on Thursday, November 19 at 7 PM. A reception begins at 6 PM. 6401 SE Foster Road, Portland, OR.
Salinas is the Secretary General of the United Workers Federation of Honduras (CUTH), which represents 250,000 urban and rural workers in Honduras. The CUTH, along with the CGT and CTH (two other major worker confederations in Honduras) are responsible for organizing several national strikes in Honduras. These Unions mobilized millions of workers to protest of the military coup, which took place on June 28, 2009. The demands of the strikers included an unconditional reinstatement of President Manuel Zelaya and an end to a government that represses the Honduran people.
