KXCI is very much a part of our local (and now world-wide, with live streaming) community offering an eclectic blend of music, culture, news and good old-fashioned programming with real djays. As we print the flyers for KXCI’s holiday fundraiser, the Gloo Factory enjoys listening to their broadcast.

Being a part of the community is important to us. One of Tucson’s most embraced events is the All Souls Procession. Everyone is welcome to join in the many activities, workshops and exhibitions that lead up the the Procession itself. The Gloo Factory participates by screen printing the official All Souls t-shirts, which help raise funds for the event. The All Souls Procession is organized by Many Mouths One Stomach.
Friends of Pima County Public Library visit the Gloo Factory and learn how to screen print tshirts that they will wear in the 2011 All Souls Procession. The Friends of the PCPL is a non-profit organization in existence since 1969 and helps support the library system by raising funds. It is a community effort to promote literacy, the love of books and library programming.
Tucson Bus Riders Union recently formed to organize and get protection for Tucson’s bus riding community. The City of Tucson has continued raising fares in these troubled economic and environmental times. Instead, it would make more sense for the city to offer affordable public transportation.

The union bug is a sign of a just work place. Gloo Factory employees are under contract with the Communications Workers of America. Together we strive to make the work place comfortable and beneficial to all.
Why do labor unions exist? To create safe working conditions, immigrant rights, equal pay and living wages and benefits through collective bargaining power. Why? Because without it, many workers are denied fair labor practices.
Labor unions first began organizing in the U.S. in about the 1800s, but became more prominent towards the late 1800s during industrialization.
