UFCW 3000 Denounces Attack on Freedom of Speech and Assembly, Demands Release Mahmoud Khalil
DES MOINES, WA - UFCW 3000, the largest private sector union in the Pacific Northwest, demands the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia graduate, lawful permanent resident, and expectant father who the Trump Administration arrested and indefinitely detained for participating in pro-Palestine protests.

We see Trump’s promise to use federal enforcement agencies as a weapon against anyone who participates in demonstrations he doesn't like as a textbook authoritarian tactic to crush those who speak out against his agenda and the billionaire class it serves.
“We will not be cowed,” said Faye Guenther, UFCW 3000 President. “We will continue to fight against this anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-American assault on our fundamental freedoms.”
Kaiser Permanente is making decisions that directly impact how we do our jobs and live our lives. First, there were restrictions on union access to worksites, making it harder for us to support the workers we represent. That move took us by surprise, and we filed a grievance to challenge it. After several conversations and working in partnership we have been able to work through this issue using interest based conversations.
