ps. remember we are hoping to send these emails and make the calls on a specific day, so don't get all trigger happy yet 
Support IWW Worker Chris Lockwood Fired for Organising!
No, as far as I know none of us has ever heard of or spoken to Slava, and he certainly hasn't sent us a message. I've just looked in here and seen all these ridiculous posts he's done.
This is a final warning, if you do one more of those repeat posts you're banned.
There's a thread in the feedback forum about deleting this forum because we wanted to make sure we didn't upset any genuine wobblies by deleting it. So post in their contact us, don't act like a disruptive, attention seeking child.

Moderators, can you please delete my account. Can you also please delete my name from this forum. I cannot figure out how to change my user name. Can you also delete the post by a known psychopath falsely accusing me of illegal activity. Can you also please delete this subforum. Isn't it ironic that you want to ban actual wobblies so that non-Wobblies can have a stupid ass forum about us? Isn't it ironic that you allow psycopaths to spread lies alleging illegal activity, but you do not allow people to post real names of known Nazi sympathizers. Very good security culture here on libcom. This whole thing is a joke. Its really really pathetic. Once again - Please delete this stupid ass idiotic forum, and please delete my name as well.
Thanks
I have got absolutely no idea what you're talking about, psychopaths illegal activity or whatever. If you send us an e-mail maybe I would have some clue but we are busy people - at my work I'm organising in indicative ballot for strike action in support of a colleague whose lost his job, and helping consult nationally on what further action 600,000 local government workers will be prepared to take to fight sub inflationary pay offer. So I and the other libcom admins have more important things to do than have anything to do with people's petty playground internet spats.
Grow up.
Slava,
Despite your go-home-and-take-all-my-toys-with-me attitude, we're all still curious about what you did with the San Francisco Chief of Police's dog. You told this incredibly stupid plot of yours to many, many people, so now fess up -- where's the dog? What did you do with it? Is it still alive? And do you always treat animals like pawns? Or the question could more accurately be posed as: why do you come onto a discussion forum, talk hella shit, treat people and social institutions like your own personal pawns, then like a spoiled 5-year old demand -- when you don't get your way -- that everyone cater to your own selfish needs and delete the evidence of what a jerk you'd been? Ever hear of sharing, the golden rule, dialogue, polemical argument, debate, agreeing to disagree, or principled comradely behavior? Apparently not!
Stop being so infantile

Nope, you can do it fairly easily with a well co-ordinated small group of people. Look at those kids who took down every single *chan site last month. There is a package available on one of the /i/ boards if you are interested. I can provide sauce.

Please circulate widely
On the 21st August Chris Lockwood, union organiser and member of the Industrial Workers of the World was fired from his bar job at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield (UK). This has been part of a long campaign by management of picking off and isolating workers who have voiced objections to recent changes that have worsened the conditions of all who work there. The Showroom cinema is a registered charity and claims to be an "investor in people", yet has consistently attacked workers pay and conditions with the sole aim of greater profits.
We believe that every worker (no matter what the industry) is entitled to respect and should be organised to defend themselves in the work place. Chris’ firing represents a direct and illegal attack against union organising. Management have refused our request to review his dismissal, so on the 12th of September members of the Industrial Workers of the World will be picketing the Showroom cinema to demand the immediate reinstatement of Chris Lockwood.
You can support us in the following ways:
1) Joining the picket lines.
Picketing will begin at 10am and go on until the bar shuts at 1:00am. Busiest times, however, are between 12 and 3 and 5 and 8. If you are able to bring food or drinks to support picketers this will also be very much appreciated.
The Showroom cinema is at –
7 Paternoster row
Sheffield
S1 2BX
If you are coming by train then the cinema is directly opposite the entrance to the train station. If you are coming by coach then you have to walk up Pond Street (towards the train station) to get to paternoster row. If you require accommodation this can be arranged (please email sheffield@iww.org.uk beforehand).
2) Solidarity actions or emails and calls of protest to affiliates
The Showroom cinema has a number of affiliate organisations who provide it with funding and support. These include –

To whom it may concern,
I am contacting you today to register my protest against the illegal dismissal of Chris Lockwood. Chris is a union organiser and member of the Industrial Worker of the World and has been discriminated against on this basis. A member of senior management has stated in conversation to a union delegate that you believe Chris' dismissal to be fair because he was only a “casual” labourer. This may be how you chose to label those who work just above minimum wage in your bar and cinema. I, however, believe that workers are entitled to respect in their workplace and the right to organise. The clearly trumped up charges and your failure to follow statutory procedure represents an illegal move by your management team against union organising. I will not support or patronise your business and will do everything in my power to publicise and protest your actions until the complete reinstatement of Chris Lockwood.
Yours Faithfully,
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thankyou in advance for your solidarity and support.
