Today Julianna watched as the Worker Freedom of Speech Act—a bill backed by @afscme31, the IL AFL-CIO, and other unions in Illinois—was signed into law. Now, such meetings are illegal—and management will face the consequences for holding them.

Like many workers at the Shedd Aquarium, Julianna Quiroz, a guest relations ambassador, was forced to attend mandatory meetings where management tried to frighten and intimidate workers in an attempt to dissuade them from forming a union.

Brittney Thompson is learning programs coordinator at Shedd Aquarium. "Unionization democratizes the workplace for the benefit of all staff," Brittney says. "A Shedd union would allow staff to work for new futures at Shedd and new futures for the Chicago workforce!"

Our two labor chairs in the General Assembly, Senator Robert Peters and Assistant Majority Leader Marcus Evans, were out with @ilcwuafscme at the Shedd standing up to union busting. In Illinois, we say 'no' to union busting - including captive audience meetings. #1u

Today more than a dozen lawmakers stood beside workers and demanded that management end its anti-union campaign. Another 150 elected officials from federal, state and local government signed on to a letter saying management should respect employees’ rights to organize freely.

Shedd Aquarium workers are blowing the whistle on management’s aggressive anti-union campaign. Shedd leadership has threatened workers, required employees to attend captive-audience meetings, torn down pro-union literature and more. More: afscme31.org/news/shedd-wor… @ilcwuafscme

Employees leave jobs they love because wages are too low, professional development isn't available or other preventable reasons. Lauren Seals works in development at Shedd Aquarium and supports Shedd Workers United because, "together in our union, we can retain staff!"
