Landslide win for workers forming their union at new downtown Milwaukee concert facility, Landmark Credit Union Live!

"Landmark Credit Union Live's employees have won recognition for their labor union – about a month after the new downtown Milwaukee concert venue's food service workers made a similar move.

The bargaining unit consists of 209 employees in sales, box office, cleaning, operations, runner, security, and usher/ticket taker jobs at Landmark Credit Union Live.

More than 80% of those workers signed union authorization and membership cards, according to a May 6 announcement from Milwaukee Area Service & Hospitality Workers (MASH) Union.

'It’s critical to have a union in an economy where it’s become nearly impossible to make ends meet,' said venue operations worker and union activist Skylar Majerus, in a statement.

'The way for workers like us to secure livable wages, rights on the job and dignity in our workplaces is by coming together in a union so we have the power together to win them in a contract,' Majerus said."

Peter Rickman, president of the MASH union, will join us on this week's Battleground Wisconsin Podcast to discuss the organizing victory, the growth of the union, and its commitment to the $20 Living Wage legislation. The podcast will be released later today.
