SPLC Union Votes No Confidence in CEO Over Layoffs

Southern Poverty Law Center workers demand removal of CEO Margaret Huang after mass layoffs, citing union-busting tactics.

The SPLC Union held a vote of no confidence in CEO Margaret Huang, with 92% of members supporting the motion.
The union claims the layoffs of 25% of staff, including key legal and support positions, were aimed at undermining union strength.
Union leaders describe the layoffs as chaotic and inhumane, contradicting the organization's stated mission of social justice.
The SPLC Board has rejected the union's demands to remove Huang and reverse the layoffs, reaffirming their support for her leadership.
The union has launched a public petition to garner support for their demands and plans to increase pressure ahead of contract negotiations in 2025.
