NO CONTRACT, NO WORK! The unionized staff at @MFJLegal are on strike for the day. Management refuses to offer a contract which respects us or delivers real race equity. We deserve pay equity, a sensible remote work policy, & fair wage increases.

What kind of “social justice” org hires scabs instead of paying their workers wages that keep up with inflation — after giving directors raises equivalent to an entire year’s salary for their lowest paid workers? @MFJLegal
