Above: Last week, tech workers at an Amazon Fulfillment Center in Staten Island protested abnormally high injury rates, and ask for increased break time and better transit benefits. ✊ ✊ ✊

Hi friends! We have a few events in the next week you may want to join for, and some other notes to share.

Upcoming Events

Museum of Capitalism Trip
Saturday, December 6, 4pm
2 West 13th Street (at 5th Ave), Manhattan
We'll be visiting this temporary exhibit which promises to educate about the ideology, history, and terror of capitalism.

Steering Call
Sunday, December 7, 12pm
Every couple weeks we host a steering call via video conference. These calls are open to any TWC members (member = has attended one of our events). Usually we plan upcoming meetings and host a general discussion about the future of our local chapter. Please add agenda items and find the link to join in the pad!

End of Year Meeting + Potluck
Tuesday, December 9, 6:30pm
Sixth Street Community Center, 638 E 6th Street (at Ave. B), Manhattan
It's almost 2020, and it's been over a year now since TWC started. Let's talk about what we've accomplished this year, and brainstorm for next year! 

This will also be a potluck. Please bring some food or drinks (whether made by you or store bought). This is not a requirement to attend the meeting, but we highly encourage folks to bring something so we can have a good spread!

Join us at Labor Notes Conference 2020

A few members in our local will be attending the Labor Notes Conference, which is held in Chicago, April of next year. In October, we ran the first of Labor Notes' three part training series Secrets of a Successful Organizer. We're coordinating with our friends there to hold the second and third parts of this training early next year. Attending the conference could be a good next step in bridging the connection between tech and labor, and we invite you to join us there!


 
The TWC Code of Conduct is in effect for all TWC NYC meetings.

If you have an idea for something you'd like to see discussed at an upcoming meeting or event, please share it in this form and it'll get discussed at an upcoming steering call. 

Finally, if you want to stay in touch with your fellow tech workers outside of meetings or emails, join us on the Slack team at #local-nyc and follow us on twitter!

If you have any questions or requests regarding accessibility or childcare, or for any other reason, please reach out to us (via this email) and we will do our best to address them!

Nervous about attending your first meeting? Read our onboarding doc!
