Teamsters at UMN are starting their strike this week. The university has presented their final offer to the Teamsters, which does not begin to approach meeting their demands. As the cost of living increases, along with UMN tuition, the university repeatedly refuses to fairly compensate the workers that allow the institution to function. All the while, top administrators like President Cunningham line their heavy pockets.
UMN Teamsters consists of over 1400 members in myriad roles such as janitors, food service workers and more. The strike began Monday night at Crookston and Morris campuses with Twin Cities and Duluth the following day. The University's refusal to offer fair and just compensation creates the necessity for a strike.
We ask that you support the Teamsters Local 320 in standing up for justice and fighting for working-class interests. We at the AWC stand with the Teamsters and all workers struggling for their rights. Join us on the picket line!
