Confluence Co-Director Casey Hudek on the Role of Unions in a Shifting Landscape

Recently Casey sat down with storytellers from Change Narrative LLC to share his thoughts on how Minnesota unions have been showing up for community in this unprecedented moment, and what lessons we can carry forward as we continue the long-term work of building a stronger, more inclusive labor movement.

“Unions, in strategic alignment with worker centers and other community partners, are remembering who we are—who we have always been. Keeping ICE out of Minnesota businesses, off construction job sites, ensuring restaurants and workplaces are places where workers are safe—is union work. At our core, this work is about humanizing workers, and securing a viable future, and that commitment is central to both our identity and our ability to be mobilized, and ready to do this work well.”
