Recent tensions within the Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP), known for its advocacy against police brutality, emerged after employees initiated a unionization effort. This movement has been met with resistance from the organization's leadership, who argue that the union push does not represent all workers and distracts from APTP's objectives. Employees insist their union is meant to strengthen their ability to serve victims of police violence, enhance morale, and establish fair workplace policies. The discord has prompted significant discussion in activist circles, questioning APTP's direction amidst broader advocacy for police reform in Oakland.
"This is not an attack on APTP, its leadership or the families we serve. Through the collective agency of our union, we hope to gain the voice and power to improve APTP."
"We are motivated by a deep love and respect for APTP's history and mission but feel a union is needed to improve workplace morale and volunteer retention."
