6/21/2018 AFGE says #EOhellNo
6/13/2018 Remembering Eric StarinWe are very sad to announce that our brother, Eric Starin, passed away this morning. Let us take a few moments to think about Eric's impact as longtime Chief Shop Steward at WMATA, as Executive Board Member of OPEIU Local 2, and as a lifetime fighter for workers' rights. In addition to all of these roles, Eric was our friend. Eric, we miss you. We'll keep fighting.
2/1/2018 Let's Talk about Janus.In a few short weeks on February 26th, the US Supreme Court will hear opening arguments in Janus v. AFSCME, a case so important that we want all of our members to know what it’s about and what’s at stake.
Twenty-seven OPEIU Local 2 members successfully completed a six-hour training on January 20 that strengthened their ability to defend union members facing discipline and termination as well as challenging management on unfair workplace practices and policies. Read more about our member education program below.
Join us for the 26th annual Community Services Agency Bowling Tournament. Proceeds benefit the CSA's mission, which is to improve the lives of workers and their families by helping to meet their human and social service needs; building broad and diverse coalitions to promote and protect dignity and justices for all workers; and empowering workers and their unions to make their communities better, more responsive places to live, work, raise a family and retire.
Looking ahead, 2018 looks to be a very challenging year. The United States Supreme Court will soon decide the case known as Janus vs AFSCME, which could affect the entire labor movement. Combining this with a White House and Congress controlled by a very conservative Republican party, Labor will have to fight to survive. Local 2 has prepared with a combination of shop steward training, organizing, and improved communications with our members.
