10AM-1PM: Informational Picket at CUNA Mutual Group
CUNA Mutual Group Workers United (OPEIU Local 39) will be picketing their employer, CUNA Mutual Group. These workers are fighting for their job security, healthcare benefits, fair compensation, retirement security, and remote work flexibility, which are in danger of being taken away from CUNA Mutual Group just months after they announced record-breaking profits.
MADSA will be providing coffee and donuts. Everyone is welcome to come through to show solidarity with these workers.
