Strike Resources
September 6, 2023
At Golden State Opportunity, we recognize that unions were the original anti-poverty organizations. For so long, unions have fought for equal rights for workers and against exploitation and poverty. GSO supports the current and past efforts of all unions to fight for a better tomorrow. As strikes continue, from SAG-AFTRA to Unite Here 11, below are some helpful resources for strikers and those wishing to support these efforts.
