👉 On Workers Memorial Day (April 28) each year, labor unions stand together at the Minnesota Workers Memorial near the Capitol in St. Paul to remember people who have died, been injured, or suffered from a work-related incident.

🖤 Today, the bell rang out four times for four union siblings who went to work and never came home:

⁃ Pierre Mack, LIUNA Laborers Local 563 (Laborers Local 563 North Dakota)
⁃ John Jungmann, Sheet Metal Workers Local 10
⁃ Adam Smith, Operating Engineers, IUOE Local 139
⁃ Richard Carmichael, Heat & Frost Local 34

Working people need functioning, funded agencies and clear policies that protect them — and hold employers accountable to make worksites safer. ✊ Mourn for the dead, and fight for the living.

❤️‍🔥 PEOPLE > QR CODES. 👉 With only 3 days notice, Cardamom workers (many of whom are worker organizers with Restaurant Opportunities Center of Minnesota and CTUL) were let go to be replaced by QR codes in a retaliatory decision made by owner Daniel del Prado of DDP Restaurant Group. 🗣️ The future we the people insist upon is pro-worker — and worker rights are human rights. DDP Group’s treatment towards its workers is unacceptable.

✊ Today we stood in solidarity with picketing workers and other supportive community members (as passing traffic honked in support).

👉 Workers shared their three key demands for DDP Group:

1. DDP workers must have at least two weeks notice before being fired and given hiring preference at other DDP locations.

2. DDP workers must be able to organize without fear of retaliation.

3. All DDP locations must sign on to 86 ICE (www.86ice.org) because workers deserve safety and a voice.

💛 The Walker Museum may have announced plans to sever ties with Cardamom, but the workers who were terminated with short notice still need support — please chip in if you can at bit.ly/cardamomstaff 👈

👀👀👀 Missed today’s picket? Join us Sunday, April 19 for a brunch picket! 💛 Meet us at 11:00 am across the street from the Cardamom entrance (725 Vineland Pl, Minneapolis, MN 55403). See you there!
