60 OPEIU Local 2 members stood up to American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) management after their anti-union bargaining team tried to impose contract language that would remove the workers' right to a weekend, gut the grievance procedure, limit the union’s ability to represent their members and give management the right to unilaterally extend probationary periods. 

​AFGE members joined OPEIU Local 2 activists from AFGE, AFT, Teamsters, Solidarity Center, SEIU, and IBEW in the protest. The support from AFGE members for the AFGE staff was amazing. They rallied, marched and chanted in a true show of solidarity.

OPEIU is fighting for a fair contract and is demanding that AFGE negotiate a fair deal for their staff.
