Seward Co-op Workers Hold a 2pm Work Stoppage

Seward Community Co-op workers had a work stoppage at 2PM today in solidarity with George Floyd, as well as Black and Trans lives lost to police violence.

The workers called upon their own store leadership and their union UFCW Local 663 to publicly support the “defunding” and “dismantling” of the Minneapolis Police Department.
