Surprise, Surprise.
For the second time in just over two years — and in a blatant act of mid-contract union busting — TruStage is targeting our Chief Steward, Mike Farwell.

Family Values @ Work Executive Director Fails to Voluntarily Recognize Employee Union
“It’s outrageous that the leadership of an economic justice organization with support for organized labor as one of its eight core values is throwing up unnecessary roadblocks to our unionization effort.” #FVAWLeadsUnited #FVAW

Lead workers at @fvawleadsunited, a nat’l network of coalitions in 27 states organizing for gender, racial, and economic justice, unanimously signed cards w/ OPEIU 39, signaling their intention to form a union. FV@W Executive Director Josephine Kalipeni denied the workers’ request for voluntary recognition of their union, pushing them to file for an election with the National Labor Relations Board.

We see the union-busting tactics your employer is using to undermine your power as workers. In the last several years, we faced our own struggle with our employer. As workers, we understand that our fights for dignity, fair working conditions, and employment are inherently connected.
We stand with you and offer our full support.
In Solidarity,
TruStage workers represented by OPEIU Local 39

365 days ago, TruStage members at #OPEIU39 embarked on the largest strike Wisconsin has seen in 10 years. Today, we gathered, virtually and in person, to commemorate what we achieved together. Like the labor movement at large, we are so much stronger, together. #strongertogether #OPEIU #OPEIU39
A documentary about the TruStage and OPEIU Local 39 negotiations?! The Netflix recommendation algorithm is getting scary good and specific to my tastes.
One year ago, I went out on strike with hundreds of my coworkers, the first strike in our union’s history.
This documentary tells the story of how our scrappy union of nerdy office workers stood up and showed the world we’re ten feet tall.
OPEIU 39 forever.
The vision behind #BrandNewExtraGood, #OPEIU39 rank and filer Will Roberts, just dropped the trailer for “Out of Office, How Soft Hands Struck a Hard Bargain.”

“Out of Office” is the story of a scrappy group of office workers in Wisconsin who managed to pull off a major victory for workers’ rights. Upon their contract’s expiration, the workers activated their dormant union and fought back against their employer - a massive financial services provider making record profits. Their fight dragged out for over 600 days and included the first strike in the company’s almost 100-year history, the largest labor action in Wisconsin in over ten years.
"We don't stop our fight for justice at the workplace. We don't stop our fight for justice because it's not the right time. When and where there's a war, whether it's in Vietnam or Gaza, we call for peace."
