Highlander Workers United wishes everyone a happy May Day and we are excited to be in solidarity with workers organizing for their rights everywhere this International Workers’ Day. Sorry to post late - We hoped to share good news on May Day but are still awaiting word.
We want to thank everyone who wrote letters of support for our staff to receive Just Cause protections. We asked to have this decision by April 7, but our board met this past weekend and we are waiting for their vote.
Highlander staff members need Just Cause protections now. In the midst of this unionization wave, Highlander is an organization that should be leading the fight for workers’ rights and setting a model for what is possible.
We are Highlander Workers United and we are seeking your support to demand implementation of a Just Cause policy during bargaining and arbitration to determine if a union organizer’s termination followed Just Cause principles. Read our full statement at https://t.co/PGvyrKP4N7
We ask you to show your support for our staff by emailing Highlander’s Personnel Committee today at [email protected] to ask that they schedule an urgent meeting and revise personnel policies to include Just Cause protections and arbitration by April 7, 2023.
