The Grand Rapids branch of the IWW is organizing a protest for this Monday, April 1st in response to the recent firing of one of their members for organizing fellow workers at Star Tickets.
The protest Facebook event page states:
IWW Organizer Deirdre Cunningham has been fired from Star Tickets in Grand Rapids where she had been working/organizing for years. The termination comes on the heels of a successful union campaign, which won IWW union certification for all Star Tickets Workers. Deirdre was fired on the day the Union was certified in an attempt to scare the other workers away from their Union.
Protest Deirdre Cunningham’s Unlawful termination!
Monday, April 1
Noon
Star Tickets building
620 Century SW, Grand Rapids
If you are unable to attend the protest, the IWW is asking people to call the owner of Star Tickets, Jack Krasula, and demand justice for Deirdre!!
