Firing, reprimand of organizers lead to complaints of union busting at MN350
August 29, 2023 // Several workers have left MN350 in the past year, citing changes in the culture and frustration over what they regard as micromanagement. One of them, Joe Morales, was hired as an Indigenous organizing director in May 2021 and was part of a three-person team that helped run MN350 that fall. Morales originally backed the decision to hire McClenty, but within six months he and the other two members of the leadership team had left. He thinks the organization has strayed from its mission. "I still care about the staff and the mission of MN350, but I cannot support the organization anymore," Morales said.
