from a press release i received yesterday:

Jason Loewenstein (of Sebadoh), Northern State, Supagroup, and DJs Eugene Hutz (of Gogol Bordello), Fancy (of Fannypack), and Tommie Sunshine to perform at Village Voice Union Strike Fund Benefit!

Wednesday, June 22, doors at 8 p.m., $10 Rothko [116 Suffolk Street @ Rivington Street]

Members of the Village Voice union (Local 2110 UAW), which includes the paper's writers and editors as well as the art, production, sales, and classified staff, are about to enter into contract negotiations with management. The contract expires at midnight on June 30 and if management refuses to meet the union's modest demands for fair raises and improved benefits, Voice union members will be forced to go on strike on July 1.
