Jobs for Jacksonville - Rally
PLEASE JOIN WITH US JAN 26, FOR A RALLY AT THE NEW DUVAL COURTHOUSE JOBSITE. AFTER THE RALLY, WE’LL MARCH TO, AND ATTEND THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
WHEN: TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, AT 3:OOPM
WHERE: CORNER OF WEST ADAMS, AND NORTH PEARL STREETS
WHY: For the last six months, volunteers from ‘JOBS FOR JACKSONVILLE’, have been regularly attending City Council Meetings, voiced our disapproval of Turner Construction, and have been virtually ignored.
As taxpaying citizens, many unemployed, we are tired of being ignored, and the time is NOW to expose Turners’ unlawful practices to the entire Nation!
FACT: Turner Construction, through their subcontractors have employed undocumented labor, while turning away qualified applicants who are taxpaying Duval County Citizens.
FACT: While acknowledging Turners’ unlawful behavior, rather than entering breech of contract with Turner, the Mayors approach has been an endless series of warnings. Our polls indicate that ten to one, Duval Taxpayers want their Courthouse constructed by local crafts people!
Please come and join us. We anticipate hundreds of taxpayers that agree with our stance, will show up and support our cause. We will not be satisfied until The City adheres to the law and replaces Turner with a reputable contractor, and shows preference to local workers. Bring your family, wear RED shirts, and please BLOG at www.jobsforjacksonville.org
Thank you
RALLY AT THE COURTHOUSE!
