I think there is a word for it... When management fires the leader of a union effort (after previously demoting and pushing out previous leaders). Support Assata and @350USunion! #ClimateJustice#UnionStrong https://t.co/zTqgJeR8ok
Moving to another org might not help. Similar struggles are taking place at enviro nonprofits. Just ask @audubonforall, @PWUnion1, @TPINunion, @350USunion + more. Staff face unfair, often abusive, treatment at their workplaces. We must be transparent, unwavering & united

Assata was fired in a surprise disciplinary meeting where she was described as ‘unmanageable’ and ‘too intimidating and aggressive’ by her white supervisor. The coded language, often used against Black womxn, is textbook racism. We will not stand for this.
Throughout the contract bargaining process, 350 management has demoted, refused to promote, made bargaining unit members’ positions redundant, and most recently *fired* the leader of the unit’s bargaining team, Assata Harris.
Since workers unionized in 2019, https://t.co/wYduyNSWdR management has continuously engaged in union-busting tactics, all while creating a hostile work environment in which they target and bully union members.
.@350 claims to be pro-worker, but the proof is in the pudding: Program staff were 50 people in 2019 now dwindled to 3. There were 15 Black program staff, now there is 1. You can read more about this exodus of union staff at https://t.co/xA9mY6gO9b

An in-depth profile of the labour strife that has been facing https://t.co/tm8i3T6Oti. This case is worth learning from because it echoes broader challenges of equity, underpay, and overwork in environmental NGOs. https://t.co/baFDPv1wuv via @zcolman@politico
