Message from my union just now. Crazy shit!

Oregon has directed millions in public dollars with Enterprise Rent-a-Car, which provides vehicles used in ICE raids that harm and terrorize our communities. Tell the state to end the contract: seiu503.org/dump-enterprise

STOP to opt out

Anyone else in sei503 got this message today?

I don’t like to boycott without proof.

The information I could find said Enterprise has only two contracts with FEMA under DHS, and nothing directly with ICE.

Unless you have a source with verified information, this sounds like another internet rumour gone wild.

To ask if they got the same email. Our union is very vocal. I'll update when I have more info.

I thought I was good at reading comprehension, but this doesn't make much sense.

Detected?

I'll find more. My union is very Dem focused. They send us notices for protests. I need to cook and such, I'll catch back up, hopefully tonight, with my posts. I think I posted more today than I've done in ages. Nervous energy, maybe
