Building Bridges: Occupy Wall St. Protests - Sotheby's, Stop & Frisk, Verizon

Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
                               National Edition
         Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg 
                ********************************************
All Day, All Week – N.Y.C. Occupy Wall Street Actions at
Sotheby's Auction Lockout, 
Harlem Protest Against Stop and Fisk and
Verizon Workers Contract Protest
 
It's was a busy week for NYC's Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Building Bridges brings you coverage of three of the multitude of
actions the've joined with community and labor activists. First we
went to NYC's posh Upper East Side where Teamster Local 814
art handlers have been locked out for months in a contract dispute
over cutbacks and outsourcing demands by Sotheby's Auction house
which caters to the 1%. Then uptown to Harlem where hundreds
demonstrated in front of the Harlem 28th Precinct where 33 activists
led by noted author, activist and Princeton Prof. Cornel West and
veteran revolutionary fighter Carl Dix were arrested protesting the
N.Y. Police Department's  racist, illegal, illegitimate stop and frisk
policy which is on track to impact over 700,000 people, mostly Black
and Latino youth,  in 2011. Then downtown to Wall Street to protest
for a fair contract for 45,000 Verizon workers whose negotiations are
not going well. Like Sotheby, Verizon is an extremely  profitable
company whose  demands include  cutbacks and outsourcing.
