The New Yorker published an article Dan Kaufman wrote about the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

"After twelve years of reporting on the politics of my home state, I believe this is the most important race I've written about. The implications for Wisconsin's democracy—and the entire country's—are enormous."

On Tuesday, March 14, OPEIU 39 Chief Steward and CUNA Mutual Group employee Joe Evica was informed that he had been put on paid suspension pending an investigation into “disclosure of company information”. The message is clear: this is retaliation for Joe’s union activity, his role as a leader on the bargaining committee and in the union, and his effectiveness at organizing a collective response to management’s bad faith bargaining tactics.

Management needs to drop this investigation immediately and let Joe get back to work. CMG management has been deliberately evasive about what Joe has supposedly done wrong, while they have retained the services of notorious anti-union firm Ogletree Deakins. Go to the link here: HANDS OFF JOE! FAIR CONTRACT NOW!
