The featured topic is the call from several unions for the Martin Luther King County Labor Council to expel the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) from its ranks.

SEIU Healthcare 1199 NW and UFCW 21 presented a “Resolution Affirming Our Commitment to an Anti-Racist Union Movement” that sets a deadline of June 17 for SPOG to refashion itself as an anti-racist labor organization. The Highline Education Association (HEA) has also sent a demand letter to MLKLC that SPOG ‘be removed from the Martin Luther King Jr. Labor Council.’

In supporting numerous strikes over the years, OWLS has seen the role of police in helping employers break strikes by enforcing unjust injunctions. As a diverse group OWLS members can testify to the brutal role of police in upholding a racist, exploitative economic system. Join this important discussion about labor’s role in the exploding movement to win racial justice.
