Fátima Murrieta is an organizing committee member with Writers Guild Staff Union, a chapter of Pacific NorthWest Staff Union. Throughout her career, she has been extraordinarily dedicated to the labor movement. Countless workers have found their voice, faced their fears, and have won better working conditions because of Fátima’s leadership.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our organizing committee and coworkers, we were able to get our employer, The Writers Guild of America West, to agree to card check recognition of our staff union and we are now a union workplace with PNWSU. However, during our organizing drive Fátima was unjustly terminated.
We are hopeful that the WGAW management will immediately reinstate Fátima Murrieta and we're currently working with them to address the instances of supervisors who threatened and questioned staff about their union activity which occurred prior to us going public with our demand for union recognition.
Until that happens, Fátima needs our support. Every donation will help ensure that she can pay rent, put food on the table, and attend to her medical needs while we continue to fight for reinstatement. Please donate as you can and share widely. Let's show each other what solidarity looks like!
An injury to one, is an injury to all!
