As the date for the launch of the Hunger Strike comes closer, buzz is growing. The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers just endorsed the Campaign for Justice in Retail Cleaning (see complete list of endorsements here), and we heard reports that in a spontaneous action at the University of Minnesota graduation ceremony, a student got on stage with a sign reading “Cub Foods, Do the Right Thing!”
