    WHAT:   Local 420 boycott Burger King at Coney Island Hospital

    WHEN:   Tuesday, April 18, 2000
            12:00 PM

    WHERE:  Coney Island Hospital
            2601 Ocean Shore Parkway
            Brooklyn, NY

    WHY:    Local 420, DC 37, AFSCME fight against city's move to
            privatize the employees' cafeteria at Coney Island
            Hospital by bringing in a franchise called Burger King.
            The concern of James Butler, President of Local 420 and
            AFSCME International Vice-President is the contracting out
            of services through the back door and nutritional issues
            by serving employees high calorie, fatty fast foods that
            the Surgeon General is so against. James Butler vowed to
            keep boycotting until we send Mr. Burger King and his
            killer Whopper packing.

    WHO:    James Butler, President of Local 420 and AFSCME
            International Vice-President, the Community, Hospital
            Workers, and Clergy.
