Rapper Common lends support to Nissan Canton unionization effort
Source: Clarion Ledger
Rapper/actor Common is set to become the latest celebrity to voice support for the United Auto Workers’ attempt to organize Nissan Canton.
He is scheduled to perform Friday at a concert that also features local musicians and will be attended by pro-union Nissan workers, community members and college students. It’s at 8 p.m. at Jackson State University’s Rose E. McCoy Auditorium.
Admission is free. But those wanting to attend must register online or present a printed ticket or e-ticket on their mobile devices. Registration and ticket information can be found at http://dobetternissan.org.
Actor Danny Glover, who has appeared in Jackson on a number of occasions to rally with union supporters, also is expected to be at Friday’s performance. Enlisting Common could help further spread the union supporters’ message, especially among young people.
