TAA Social with AFSCME Locals 171 and 2412

The TAA organized a social with AFSCME Locals 171 and 2412, which represent classified staff on campus, held March 17th at the Goodman Center. Undergrad activists from the Student Labor Action Coalition and United Council, as well as faculty, also attended the event. Attendees wore green in support of AFSCME (and in honor of St. Patrick’s Day of course!)

The food for the event was organized by John Zinda, a TAA member (Sociology), who called on Slow Food UW, a student group, to cater the event. John came up with the menu, and lead Brian Hedberg (co-director of SFUW), Danny Spitzberg, Collin Schwantes, and Martina Kunovic in preparing the meal. TAA members Molly Noble and Katie Lindstrom also pitched in in the kitchen, while Chelsea Schelly and Charity Schmidt picked up the pizzas from Ian’s. Thanks everyone who helped organize and attended to make this a great solidarity event!
