Margaret Huang is the chief executive officer of Southern Poverty Law Center
Workers at the leftist activist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) gave their CEO a vote of non-confidence after Margaret Huang started to lay off staff last June. The staff have equated this with the union busting tactics they usually associate with conservatives.
The SPLC union announced a 92 percent vote of non-confidence in Huang, The Guardian reported. With that response in hand, the union is now calling for Huang to resign or to be removed and replaced with a new CEO - and to reverse the layoffs that have cut staff levels by 25 percent. The union is also appealing directly to the public with a petition to encourage people to support its demands.
Lisa Wright, the chairwoman of the union's bargaining committee, worked for the SPLC for 23 years before being laid-off. "Shock, horror, confusion. It's been sloppy, dispassionate, inhumane. It has been the absolute opposite of what the organization says they stand for and absolute chaos since then," Wright told The Guardian.
