| Protest "Global Sourcing" Conference, 4/14 in San FranciscoDear TechsUnite Ca,
 
             On Wednesday, April 14, the Strategic Research Institute is 
            hosting a "Global Sourcing Conference" in San Francisco.  This 
            is an event where corporate executives gather together to discuss 
            how to move jobs out of the US.  Many tech companies will be 
            present, including Microsoft which is making a presentation on their 
            "sourcing strategies." 
             
             TechsUnite, along with the San Francisco Labor Council and many 
            local labor unions, says NO to planning the destruction of even more 
            quality jobs from our depressed economy.  If you are upset 
            about the trend of job loss and outsourcing, and its effects on our 
            economy, please come to show your anger and show the media that tech 
            workers want JOBS!  Our rally will show our opposition to 
            offshoring, and highlight 5 new bills in the Ca legislature 
            designed to slow and limit offshoring. Local union workers, 
            leaders and elected officials will speak.
 
             
             
             WHAT: Demonstration Against Offshoring 
            Conference
