RadioACTive Pop — Local SLC LGBTQ+ Bar Unionizing

Suntrapp Workers Unite (SWU), staff of Historic LGBTQ+ Bar, Demand Voluntary Union Recognition in Groundbreaking Utah Campaign. Natalie Jankowski, Morgan Sturgill, and Derek Peterson join us to talk about the effort. A supermajority of workers at The SunTrapp have publicly announced their unionization effort. The group is calling on owner Mary Peterson to voluntarily recognize their union both as an acknowledgement of the value these employees bring to The SunTrapp and as a show of willingness to move forward collaboratively with the staff.
