🚨 WHY WE'RE PICKETING

MSEA-SEIU Local 1989 union members, the MaineDOT highway crew in Jay, have been organizing against a hostile workplace. Instead of taking their reports of bullying and unsafe conditions seriously, MaineDOT has closed the Jay highway camp, reassigned union members, and will bring in other workers to do their jobs.

We demand: ✅ Save the Jay highway camp ✅ MaineDOT address bullying and intimidation
